Hobbies & Interests


As a computer science major, I'm always welcome to learning and figuring out new things related to computing. I built my first custom PC from parts in 2011 (before it was cool) and I have maintained a sleek-looking mid-upper range build ever since. I have Windows on my computer because I game casually and use software exclusive to that platform such as microsoft office, but I also dual-boot with Arch Linux where much of my productive work is done. Some may be critical of Linux for desktop use but I appreciate the fact that the OS is user-centric, (does nothing automatically, stays out of the way and assumes the user knows what they are doing) has verifiable source code available, and comes with no bloatware. One day I hope to be able to contribute quality work to the open source projects that I use.

Outside of computing and electronics I enjoy lifting and going out drinking with friends, as well as driving, going to the beach, and the occasional fishing day, among other things. I love boating as well but aren't lucky enough to own one yet.
