"How well do we actually know ourselves? Can we dare to say that we really know someone, like really, really know them?" — Nico J. Genes
Hi there 👋, My name is Zach J Murphy.
I'm a third-year Child and Youth Care Practitioner student, a hobbyist software developer, an advocate and contributor to open-source projects, and a passionate Star Trek enthusiast.
I'm currently exploring the Social Services field with the goal of supporting youth and empowering them to become more independent.
In my free time, I contribute code to open-source projects that I personally use. You can check out my contributions on my GitHub profile. In addition to coding, I actively participate in the development and adoption of privacy-focused frontends, some of which I host myself.
In my spare time, I enjoy using my technical skills to create exciting and innovative projects, from products and games to websites, tech demos, and graphics. I take great pride in being a caring and passionate individual. These qualities define who I am, and when I collaborate with the right people, I'm able to do my best work.
I grew up in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 and developed a passion for programming at a young age, beginning with experimenting with operating system files at just twelve years old. Currently, I'm studying to become a Child and Youth Care Practitioner, specializing in Mental Health & Counselling.
In my free time, I'm either coding, taking photos, studying, creating online content, or volunteering in my community. I'm probably best known for creating PaperProton-Redux, a Firefox userChrome.css theme that recreates the look and feel of Microsoft Edge.
The best way to reach me is via email at me@zachjmurphy.ca.
Farewell 😊
