Projects

🚧 This Page is Under Construction 🚧

I'm building out a proper portfolio of my projects and hyperfixations. Until then, here's the quick version of what I'm into:

The Makerspace Stuff I'm a tinkerer. At any given moment I'm probably restoring a vintage arcade cabinet, 3D printing something ridiculous, laser-cutting gifts, or modifying electronics that didn't ask to be modified. My home office looks like a RadioShack exploded in the best way. Recent obsessions include Kumiko woodworking, quadruped robotics, and building my own Jarvis-style AI assistant.

The Nerd Stuff Forever DM for my D&D groups. Guilty Gear and Overwatch (Mercy main, no shame). Beat Saber is responsible for 30 lbs of weight loss. I mod non-VR games into VR for fun. Anime taste ranges from "critically acclaimed" (Frieren, Hunter x Hunter) to "absolute garbage I love anyway" (Food Wars, 100 Girlfriends). Convention regular — San Japan is home base.

The Movement Stuff Currently on a pickleball kick. I ride an electric longboard around San Antonio more than I drive. Used to race FPV drones (the 100mph ones) and sail competitively.

The Creative Stuff Photography gear head — shoot on an OM-1 with Sigma primes. Travel and portrait focused, grinding street photography. Recently decided "I'm not musical" was a boring story, so I'm teaching myself piano in VR and building a modular synth setup.

The Brain Stuff ~80 audiobooks a year at 2x speed. 90% dense nonfiction and hard sci-fi, 10% manga. I daily drive an e-ink phone so I can read everywhere. Working with AI since 2019 — it's not just my job, it's genuinely one of my favorite things to think about.

The Travel Stuff 32 countries, 5 continents. Can be packed for anywhere on earth in an hour. Philosophy: lock in 1-2 highlights, keep 60-80% of the schedule open.

The Food Stuff I cook big, family-style feasts for people I care about. The pesto is allegedly life-changing. Emergency bad-day protocol: cast-iron skillet cookie with ice cream.
