-### 🎨 About Me
-- 🔭 I’m currently working on [my Bluesky client](https://github.com/ION606/bluesky-client) and [my workout app](https://github.com/ION-WorkoutApp).
-- 🌱 I’m currently studying **neural networks, data analysis, and procedural animation**.
-- 💬 Ask me about **Express.js, Databases (and all the fun schemas), or kernel-level operations**.
-- 📫 You can reach me at **ion606@protonmail.com**.
-- ⚡ Fun fact: **I still enjoy creating with GameMaker Studio 2** for fun side projects.
+### 🧠 About Me
+
+- 🔭 Currently building: population health tooling at **Vidalens**, workflow automation and quality control using machine learning at **[Cribrum Software](https://cribrum.dev)**, and screaming at Kubernetes clusters (it's fine, everything is fine)
+- 🎓 Grad research: **NLP, Computer Vision, and CNNs** - because skynet won't build itself!
+- 🏥 Professionally: building ML-driven workflow automation at **[Cribrum Software](https://cribrum.dev)** and population health platforms at **[Vidalens](https://vidalens.org)**
+- 🛠️ Side quest: **[ION-Lang](https://github.com/ION606/ION-Lang)** - I WANT FORKING IN JAVASCRIPT
+- 💬 Ask me about **Kubernetes (Minikube is awesome!), database schemas (the fun kind), kernel-level operations, or machine learning stuff (not tensors, anything but tensors)**
