About
Engineering from both sides: software and hardware.
My passion for technology started early. When I was around 8 years old, my father gave me my first computer — an IBM PC running DOS. A few years later Windows 3.1 was released, and once I discovered Visual Basic, everything changed. By the age of 10 I was already designing simple programs, and shortly after that I began building my own PCs.
Since then, technology has remained a major part of my life. Over the years I’ve developed experience across full-stack web applications, Android development, AI and machine learning projects, embedded systems, electronics, automation, databases, computer repair, and hardware troubleshooting.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering and enjoy building things that actually work — taking ideas from concept to finished products through testing, iteration, debugging, and problem-solving. I’m especially passionate about projects that bridge the gap between software and hardware engineering.
Outside of engineering, I’m married to my amazing wife Kristina and live just outside Albany, New York. I also enjoy hands-on automotive and electronics projects, including continuing development work on my Subaru WRX and custom hardware systems.
