How I Work

I’ve never been someone who fit neatly into a single profession. Over the years I’ve worked in electronics, software development, Linux systems administration, scientific computing, education, property renovation, and independent research. While those experiences may seem unrelated at first glance, they’ve all been driven by the same curiosity: understanding how systems work.

E-Field lab setup
Developing a classroom experiment to visualize electric field patterns using a multimeter, conductive water, and graph paper.

I enjoy learning new domains, building practical solutions, and connecting ideas across disciplines. Whether troubleshooting hardware, writing software, analyzing scientific data, renovating a house, or developing a STEM program, I approach each project the same way—ask good questions, understand the underlying principles, and build something useful.

Mag field demo
Here I was developing a classroom visualization of magnetic field lines using iron filings.

This website is a collection of those projects. Some are complete. Some are experiments. Some are simply interesting rabbit holes worth exploring. Together, they reflect how I learn, solve problems, and continue developing new skills.

I don’t claim to be an expert in everything I pursue. I do enjoy becoming competent in unfamiliar areas and applying what I learn to solve real problems. That process of continual learning is what has made every stage of my career rewarding.

Building Alpha III rocket
Developing the Rocket Engineering Program involved far more than writing lessons. Building kits, evaluating tools, testing adhesives, refining launch procedures, and thinking through the student experience are all part of the process.
