" However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion. " -George Washington

About Me

I am a first and foremost a passionate designer and enjoy exploring anything tech related that grabs my interest. This can range from networking to software defined radio. My current tech obsession is virtual machines and I'm actively working on a Virtual Machine Management Console right now to spin up any virtual machine from on of the Big Three providers (AWS, Azure, GCloud) in seconds.

I am also an Air Force veteran. I was stationed at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska where my main priority was analyzing enemy radio communications. I have always found it funny that I have such a niche skillset at a microscopic level of technology (radiowaves and bit-level analysis) but am now having to go back and learn the basics of networking and ports to work on my own interests. I suppose I should have known this information all along.

Dream Job

My dream job would be to either start my own company or work with one to analyze social media sites for bot activity. I am a firm believer that the first amendment ends where humanity does. Using bots to spam out fake information across all platforms is a detriment to free speech and a functioning society as a whole.
