Summary

Hi, Welcome! I created this website to share my projects and to convince the internet I'm a functioning professional adult.

My passion is digital logic systems, they are magic. My life goal is to help troubleshoot these systems. If things break I fix them. If systems slow down I diagnose them. If employees can't work I solve it. If servers crash I bring them back up. These systems will only keep growing and unfortunately, consume our everyday life.

I spend my free time learning & studying. I love figuring out how things work. I used to play DotA2 and miss it everyday.

As a Technical Operations Engineer at Google I dived into complex issues. And I managed system deployments and supported administrators at Valley View School District. Along the way, I've found that curiosity, collaboration, and practical problem-solving make all the difference. But most importantly, above everything and anything, is Love.

Love makes everything work.
