Cloud Nerd · Solder Junkie · Ham Radio Addict · Hydroponic Gardener
I spend my days wrangling cloud infrastructure and my evenings either hunched over a soldering iron or shouting into a microphone at strangers on the other side of the planet. Occasionally I do all three before dinner.
I'm a technologist who gets excited about a pretty wide range of things. Cloud infrastructure pays the bills, but IoT, crypto, electronics, hydroponics, and the occasional deep dive into something completely impractical keep things interesting.
I'm also a licensed amateur radio operator (2E0RPZ) — it's a hobby that sits nicely at the intersection of electronics, software and just enough dark-arts RF magic to stay fun.
Mostly I just like building things, learning how stuff works, and occasionally finishing a project before starting three more.
