## About Me

My name is Paul Duncan.  I am a software developer living in Falls
Church, VA.

I am an [EV][] and renewable energy enthusiast.  I have owned a [Tesla
Model 3][model3] since March 2019.  We [installed rooftop
solar][solar] in September 2022.

I enjoy reading about math, programming, computer security, and science,
writing [Open Source software][oss], tinkering with electronics, [3D
printing][], and creating electronic music.

In my spare time I run a couple of servers which provide web and email
hosting for friends and family.

## About This Site

This has been my web site since 1998.  The site name is a combination of
"pablo" (my nickname) and "tron" (technical).
