About Me

Curiosity first. Everything else followed.

From a young age I took apart anything I could get my hands on — and my parents let me. That curiosity never left. I have a mind that can break something down, see how every part moves together, and rebuild it before I ever touch a tool. Electronics, machines, systems — if it works, I want to know why. Dig into my portfolio and you'll see where that habit has taken me.
