Cloud Infrastructure
Kubernetes, AWS, Terraform, observability, automation, and the puzzle of making systems reliable without making them fragile.
Curious by Design
Builder. Problem solver. Always learning.
I like understanding how things work, finding the rough edges, and turning complicated problems into something useful.

About me
I’m drawn to systems, whether they’re digital, mechanical, or somewhere in between.
I have always been fascinated by the way things fit together. Sometimes that means designing reliable software infrastructure. Other times it means troubleshooting equipment, improving a home network, experimenting with smart devices, or building something for my family.
The common thread is curiosity. I enjoy learning enough about a subject to become useful, testing ideas in the real world, and making things simpler, sturdier, or more enjoyable than they were before.
I also love sharing curiosity with other people, especially through books, audiobooks, science rabbit trails, and board games around the table with family and friends.
“I wonder if this would work...” is usually where the fun begins.
Things I’m exploring
Not a résumé. More like a workbench.
Home Lab
Small servers, networking, self-hosted tools, experiments, and the occasional “why is DNS always the problem?” moment.
3D Printing
Printing practical parts, tuning machines, learning materials, and turning small ideas into physical objects.
Home Projects
Energy efficiency, repair work, pool automation, tools, trees, gardens, and the constant project list that comes with owning a home.
IoT & Smart Devices
Useful automation, sensors, switches, networks, and devices that make life easier without making the house feel over-engineered.
Practical AI
Using AI as a thinking partner for research, prototyping, documentation, planning, and learning faster without turning off judgment.
Christmas Lights
Synchronized displays, controllers, pixels, sequences, power planning, and the joy of making something bright enough for neighbors to notice.
Science
Physics, space exploration, power generation and storage, magnetism, structures, architecture, genetics, medicine, and other rabbit holes worth exploring.
Books & Audiobooks
Stories, ideas, long series, and the joy of finding something good enough to pass along to my kids.
Board Games
From family game nights to heavier strategy games with friends, I like learning new systems and seeing how the pieces fit together.
Add another interest
Use this placeholder for gardening, grilling, reading, family projects, gaming, or whatever else belongs here.
Current projects
A few things on the bench.
Swap these placeholders with whatever you are actively building, fixing, researching, or improving.
Project title goes here
Write two or three sentences about the problem, why it interested you, what you tried, and what you learned.
Add a link later →Better home network
Placeholder for notes about VLANs, access points, self-hosted tools, or any useful lessons from building a more reliable home setup.
Add photos or notes →Useful prints and experiments
Placeholder for printed parts, machine upgrades, calibration notes, or “this tiny plastic thing solved a real problem” stories.
Add gallery later →Favorite books
Stories and ideas worth sharing.
Use this section for favorite books, audiobooks, quotes, series, or reading lists you want to share with your kids.
Favorite series
Add the book series that have stuck with you, why they mattered, and who you would recommend them to.
Great listens
Placeholder for narrators, long drives, family listens, or books that worked especially well in audio format.
Books I like sharing
Use this for books that sparked good conversations, helped the kids discover a new genre, or became family favorites.
Board games
A library of little systems.
Some games are perfect for a quiet family night. Others need friends, snacks, patience, and a rules explanation that probably takes too long.
Family table
Placeholder for approachable games, family favorites, and the ones that made everyone want to play again.
Heavy game nights
Placeholder for the complicated games you tackle with friends when everyone is ready to learn something new.
The collection
Add a photo, list, or a few categories from your board game library once you decide how much you want to share.
Add favorites
Use this for top 10 lists, “currently playing,” games for kids, or games that teach interesting mechanics.
Science rabbit holes
Curiosity does not stay in one lane.
I enjoy studying a wide range of science-related fields: physics and astrophysics, radiology, power generation and storage, magnetism, structures and architecture, genetics and medicine, and space exploration.

Notes to self
Expertise is mostly curiosity plus reps.
I do not think being good at something means knowing everything. It means being willing to ask better questions, test assumptions, admit when something is not working, and keep improving the next version.
