Circuits, Strings and Stories

Software engineer by trade, tinkerer by nature, and curious about pretty much everything in between.

I build software, experiment with electronics, and enjoy trying to understand how the universe works. When I'm not doing that, you'll probably find me playing bass guitar or running D&D adventures where the players have absolutely no intention of following the plot.

Generally happiest when I'm learning something, making something, or figuring out why something isn't working.
