04 / About

EE by degree, builder by default.

I run a 23-container homelab, maintain an ice rink's industrial systems (refrigeration, electrical, mechanical), and write firmware for ESP32 sensor networks scattered around my house. Based in Connecticut. FCC W1LSD.

The projects above told the story. This is just the human context.
