  • 🎮

    I got my start in web development thanks to Neopets - customizing my shop page was my first introduction to HTML and CSS

🔌 Tech Hobbies(when I'm not coding)

🖨️

3D Printing

Owner of a 3D printer that's still waiting for its first actually useful print. Currently specializing in creating plastic dust collectors and conversation pieces.

🔧

Tool Collection

Have a chronic tool-acquiring habit that necessitated moving to a house with a bigger garage. I firmly believe n+1 is the correct number of tools to own.

💾

Home Server

Run a personal UNRAID server with 82TB of storage. It's like having my own personal cloud, except I'm also the IT department when things go wrong.

🏠

Smart Home

Home Assistant enthusiast who has automated nearly everything possible. Unfortunately, quite unsuccessful and most everybody else hates it.
