About me

I developed an interest in computers after playing Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2 for the GameBoy Advance. As a four-year-old I was enraptured by how an entire world appeared before me in a small handheld device. I knew right then and there that I wanted to be a video game developer. As I grew up, I learned that all the artistic talent in the family went to my sisters, but I also realized that my passion was for what was going on behind the scenes. Computer systems were always this impapable black box, and I became determined to learn how they work.

Years passed and I am now a computer engineer working as an embedded software developer. I found that I love working at the low level: interfacing with hardware, working with operating systems, and dabbling in compilers. At my job I get to hack around with Linux, U-Boot, and occasionally some bare-metal applications, and I wouldn't have it any other way. When I am not at work, I like to do a lot of the same thing at home as side projects. I also enjoy expanding my horizons, like studying topics in math and other subjects I'm interested in but didn't have the time to pursue in school.

I have non-engineering related hobbies too. I enjoy cooking, reading a good book,and working on writing projects with my wife.
