I'm bad at introductions, but might as well say hello! I've been enchanted by cephalopods for my entire life, spurred on by frequent visits to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and tide-pooling excursions with my father as a child. Now I'm a student studying biological systems engineering, and I've been spending my free time building systems to house increasingly finicky living things in my apartment (such as a hydroponic tomato growing in my closet).
Keeping one of these gorgeous creatures is like a dream for me, and the challenge associated only makes me more excited. Please be patient with me as I dip my toes in the water here; I have only owned freshwater fish in the past, though I do have some transferable knowledge from maintaining hydroponics systems. I am going to slowly begin the process of setting up a saltwater aquarium, with the goal of eventually owning a few Sepia bandensis. Sensing and automation is a major interest of mine, so I will be sure to share any things I develop on that front as I work on this project. I'm excited to speak with you all more!
