Hard Fault Life
HFL
My name is Evan Grove. I am a firmware engineer currently working in Chicago. This blog is in its infancy, but I intend to cover a wide variety of topics, mostly related to software.
From time to time, I may write about one of my hobby projects. Of course, this blog is one of those projects, and you can read about it in my introduction to µstack. You might also be interested in Cheatle, the best Wordle cheat tool on the internet. For everything else, head over to my GitHub account, where you can find me tinkering with all sorts of stuff.
