Hi!

I'm a twenty year old computer engineer from Vorarlberg, Austria and based in Tampa Bay, Florida.

There is something deeply satisfying about bridging the gap between software and the physical world. I like exploring how things work under the hood, from sensor data and firmware loops to the boards those systems run on.
