Visit my portfolio! | View my resume!

I'm a freshly 18-year-old tech enthusiast and developer, driven by logic, analysis, and an insatiable curiosity for all things computers and technology. While my username proudly proclaims my love for Linux (and I have tons of experience using it on the desktop!), I'm currently enamored by the world of macOS (sorry, Linux fans 😭). Always learning, always exploring!

My ultimate dream is to land a role where I can combine my love for Rust with cutting-edge robotics and AI technologies. I'm particularly excited about:

• 🤖 Developing intelligent robotic systems
• ⚡ Working on embedded systems and IoT devices
• 🧠 Implementing AI algorithms in resource-constrained environments
• 🦀 Pushing the boundaries of what's possible with Rust in these domains

• The fascinating intersection of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence – I'm keen to understand how these fields merge and what exciting possibilities they unlock!
• My ultimate goal is to land a role in embedded systems, robotics, or AI, primarily leveraging the power and safety of Rust.

I'm always up for a chat, whether it's about a cool project, a job opportunity, or just geeking out about tech!

Thanks for stopping by! Let's build something awesome.
