Information About Me
As a CCNA-certified Computer Engineering graduate based in Nagano, Japan, I have a passion towards IT infrastructure, system administration, and network engineering.
What began as a childhood curiosity, building computers and taking apart consumer electronics, has evolved into a mission to support and improve the underlying digital and physical infrastructure that we all rely on to make our lives better.
While my technical background spans a wide range of hardware and software, I am particularly passionate about network architecture and server management.
Since 2022, I've architected and managed a resilient TrueNAS Home Lab server environment, where I actively manage network services, configure secure external access with WireGuard VPNs, and deploy Nginx reverse proxies for containerized Docker applications.
This setup allows me to bridge the gap between hardware tinkering and practical IT administration.
Beyond the technical realm, I bring a blend of leadership, adaptability, and dedication.
I earned the rank of Eagle Scout with the Boy Scouts of America and support the Right to Repair movement to help democratize technology.
As I currently work within Japanese schools to facilitate cross-cultural communication, my mission is to help build and support the underlying systems that keep people seamlessly connected.

ProjectsProjects
Here are some of my projects that I've done using a variety of programming languages, software applications, and hardware devices.
Home Labs Server
Home Labs Server
A TrueNAS Scale Home Labs Server for self-hosted web applications, utilizing WireGuard VPNs and Nginx reverse proxies for secure external access.
Chit Chat Cove
An anonymous, proximity-based social media app where users can interact with the people around them. Developed in React Native utilizing Google Firebase for the backend data storage and authentication, users can create posts, engage with nearby posts with upvotes and comments, and receive push notifications.
Cal Poly BattleBots
A competition-ready battlebot with iPad controls, collaboratively designed and built by Cal Poly CPE, EE, and ME students for an independent client. I was responsible for building the iOS app in Swift and handling the Bluetooth communication between the controller and the battlebot.
Chat
A chat program enables clients to communicate with each other through a TCP connection to a central server. The server receives custom application-level Protocol Data Units (PDUs) from clients and forwards them to their intended recipients.
Digital Multimeter
A digital multimeter assembled on a STM32 Nucleo board in C that uses an Analog to Digital Converter and Fourier Transformation to read DC and AC voltages regardless of its wave and offset.
Function Generator
A function generator programmed in C on a STM32 Nucleo board, utilizing an external Digital to Analog Converter to output a variety of waveforms at varying frequencies and duty cycles.
Packet Trace
Network Packet Trace program that sniffs packets from trace files and outputs the protocol header information for a variety of different types of headers
(Ethernet, ARP, IPv4, TCP, UDP, ICMP)
Round Robin Scheduler
An implementation of a round robin operating system scheduler, cycling through each process for a given period and removing a process from circulation once it has concluded.
Thwac-An-LED
The classic kids game Whac-A-Mole reinvented utilizing SystemVerilog on a Basys 3 board with LEDS and switches!
Portfolio Website
