Results-oriented CIS student with a passion for technology and building things — from homelab servers running Proxmox to custom 3D-printed hardware. CompTIA A+ certified with hands-on experience in systems admin, networking, and hardware troubleshooting.

I love learning new technology, tinkering with AI tools, and working in the terminal. Currently expanding into web development and full-stack engineering.
