About

I'm a Computer Engineering student at Colorado State University who likes sitting at the point where hardware, software, and the person using them all meet. That's meant clearing a Secure Boot failure at the chassis level, deploying a POS system from scratch for a hardware store in Mombasa, and building the web presence for a local dessert cafe — always translating a technical fix into something a non-technical person can trust.
