Hi, I am a year 3 CS with AI student at University of York.

I am currently learning system administration and helping to manage 2 Dell poweredge R740xd in the campus datacenters.

I also love 3D printing and learning CAD, mostly using my QIDI Q1 Pro coreXY printer and Kingroon filament dryer to make custom parts for my other interests.

I am additionally interested in high-fidelity audio and collect FLAC music. To manage my library, I built a personal streaming service on a Raspberry Pi, along with a tool for music analysis that tracks every track I play. You can see the data on the Music page.

Another hobby is building and modding mechanical keyboards, my favorite build so far is a customized Keychron Q3.

Programming ties all these interests together. I also daily-drive an Arch Linux system (LUKS-encrypted BTRFS with KDE Plasma).

This site is built with Python Flask, hosted on a fasthost VPS (also used for Wireguard port forward), through Gunicorn and Nginx, see the docker definition.

You can read more about projects mentioned in the Projects page!
