My Personal Interests

Outside of academics and work, I spend a lot of time exploring technology and building personal projects at home. My interests help me sharpen my technical skills while keeping things fun and creative.

• Managing a dedicated NAS server hosted on an older Dell tower.
• Operating a personal "play server" (IBM x3650 M4) running:
• Virtualized Linux environments using virtualization software.
• A Plex media server for home streaming.
• A Minecraft server for personal and small group play.
• An arcade game server hosting retro games.

3D Printing

• Owner of a Creality K1C 3D printer with web-based management.
• Designing and printing custom gadgets, tools, and household items.
• Experimenting with various filaments and optimizing print settings.
