Self-taught.
Still taking things apart to see how they work.

Self-taught technologist since age 8, when a box of dead Celeron PCs and a library copy of Upgrading and Repairing PCs turned into an obsession that never stopped. What started as fixing "trash" computers grew into building hundreds of custom PCs, running home labs with enterprise-grade routers, switches, and servers, and going deep on virtualization, Active Directory, and network administration. Along the way: hosting and administering game servers, engineering enterprise-grade home infrastructure — a self-designed 42U rack running pfSense, PoE switching, and a multi-shelf TrueNAS storage array — and building sophisticated Discord backend systems including automated subscription key/licensing infrastructure. Now channeling all of it into full-stack software development — and genuinely excited about what AI makes possible along the way: a resource that sharpens accuracy, speeds up execution, and opens doors to tools and techniques I might never have discovered otherwise. I use it to design, build, and ship real, free, production software used by people around the world. Want the longer version? Read the full story →
