Interests

Technology

My passion for technology began early, fueled by a love of video games and an insatiable curiosity that led me to take apart anything I could get my hands on. This interest eventually guided me into the IT industry, where I landed my first tech role at a small startup in sunny Orange County, California. I started in technical support and soon transitioned into manual QA and automation testing. When the startup was acquired by Scotts Miracle-Gro, I relocated to Colorado shortly after. There, I realized I thrive in smaller companies where I can wear multiple hats and make a meaningful impact. This led me to a PBX manufacturer and telecom company, where I deepened my understanding of the IT industry, rapidly expanded my skill set, and built lasting professional relationships.

Video Games

Video games have always been more than just a hobby—they’ve shaped who I am. It all started with a Game Boy Color and Pokémon, then progressed through the Nintendo 64, GameCube, Xbox, PlayStation, and eventually PC gaming. Building my first gaming rig (the same machine I’m typing this on today) was a turning point. World of Warcraft became a huge part of my life; I sank countless hours into it, formed incredible friendships across the globe, and even met one of my best friends to this day, Dustin, through the game. Those experiences taught me collaboration, problem-solving, and the joy of connecting with people over shared passions—skills that still serve me in tech.

Cooking

Cooking has been another lifelong love, one that turned into a necessity when I moved out on my own. I owe almost everything I know in the kitchen to my incredible friend Dustin—he patiently taught me the fundamentals and beyond, and I’ll always be grateful for his guidance. These days I’m especially proud of my mapo tofu, Sichuan eggplant, street-style tacos, and anything pan-seared—fish, steaks, chops, you name it. If it can go in a hot pan or the oven with good seasoning and technique, I’m confident I can make it delicious.

Plants & Bio-tech

Plants have fascinated me since I was a kid. Over the years I’ve explored horticulture and gardening, experimented with hydroponics and aeroponics, and dove deep into earthen-building techniques. My long-term dream is to one day own a piece of land and build a fully self-sustaining earthship with my own hands—an off-grid home that grows its own food, recycles its water, and runs on renewable energy. Everything I learn, from IT to cooking to growing plants, feels like it’s leading me toward that goal.
