## Introduction

My name is Brian. I'm a 17-year-old tech enthusiast from the [Republic of Ireland](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_Ireland).

My pronouns are *he/him/his*, I am diagnosed autistic and chronically ill.

- **My primary interest lies in computer hardware.** I'd often watch retro tech YouTubers growing up, fascinated by how computers have evolved and how they functioned.

- **I am currently learning HTML and CSS** and aim to start learning JavaScript soon.

- My favourite tea is [Bewley's Gold Blend Tea](https://bewleys.com/products/bewleys-gold-blend-tea), while my favourite coffee is a [Califia Farms Mocha Coffee with Almond](https://www.califiafarms.co.uk/products/mocha-coffee-with-almond-2/) cold brew.

## Chronic illness

I was diagnosed with an autonomic nervous system disorder called POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) in January 2025.

I have ongoing chronic fatigue, intermittent joint pain, low stamina, brain fog, lightheadedness & blood pooling, among other things. I am out of education for the time being and spend my time at home.
