About

I’m a software dev and systems architect who loves messing around with hardware. I help businesses design, launch, and keep their systems running smoothly, always aiming for practical, smart solutions that actually make sense. In my free time, I build micro drones from the ground up (handling the PCB layout, soldering, coding, and inevitable crash tests). Outside of tech, you'll find me playing video or board games, or brewing a fresh batch of homebrew beer.

Killing the Spider: Drone Gets Its First PCB
