About Me

I study Computer Science and Linguistics at a university level, but my skills don’t end there. I have built and fixed countless computers, whether desktop or laptop, not to mention lots of gaming devices. I have great soldering skills, and I have performed many soldering and micro-soldering jobs on varying devices, with over 2 years of it under my belt. I have modded both the hardware and software of an ASUS ROG Ally X, multiple Nintendo Switches and the Nintendo GameCube, just to name a few. I even built my own tabletop arcade machine out of a Raspberry Pi for a school project.

On top of the hardware stuff, I have some experience modding software and programming, including but not limited to: custom LED strips with an Arduino, developed a sentiment analysis app in python, setup dual-booting of Linux and Windows on multiple devices, and setup an Ubuntu server for things like game servers, plex, and file backups complete with RAID drive setups.

If you’re interested in any of these, be sure to check out the about page, where I go further in-depth on many of these projects.
