About Me

Aspiring network engineer with a passion for technology education and accessibility. I enjoy exploring the limitations and weirder aspects of technology, with a keen interest in circuit bending and modular synthesis. During my time in TAP, I helped develop Space Mechanic with my team and presented it at events like the CMD-IT Tapia Conference 2024 in San Diego, California and the Atlanta Science Festival.
