Community involvement
I contribute to some sites in the Stack Exchange network. For those who aren't familiar with it, Stack Exchange is a network of 150+ free, community driven, self-moderating Q&A sites, each focoused on a particular topic. It's effective community moderation process is based on 'Reputation' - the more reputation you get from writing good questions and answers, the more privileges you earn and the more moderation tools you can use. Basically, Stack Exchange is a group of sites with just questions, and answers, without the chitchat and useless posts you find on regular forums.

Other hobbies
I regularly play Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition. In future I want to try playing some other RPGs like Pathfinder.
I also like to spend some time tinkering with my Rasberry Pi, hacking and making. I contribute some of my knowledge about it to Raspberry Pi Stack Exchange, and write articles for their blog, PiVersify.
