My interests!
- I enjoy exploring various types of software. Especially if it is open source which allows me to sift through its code.
- Linux! This is a powerful open source operating system which seemingly has endless applications. The backbone of modern computing technology is powered by Linux including the smart phones in your hand to the cloud service you use.
- Virtual Machines (VMs). These are individual computers that run within the main (host) computer. They are prevalent as the backbones of server centers. It is fun to learn and experiment with VMs.
- Blockchain Technology. When this technology is used properly it will provide people with control and power over their own life. This area is new and seems very promising. It is fun to work with the community and learn.
- PC Building. Hardware is just as great as software. I have built several "gaming" PCs for my friends and myself over the past few years. I pick out the parts based on the performance required and get building!
- Camping. As a part of a Boy Scout troop I enjoy camping at heart. Nature is refreshing and provides a great break from technology.
- Biking. This is a good form of exercise and recreation I strive to participate in.
- Gardening. I always found it intriguing that with a little bit of nurturing and commitment one can grow an entire garden of flavorful food. Gardening is a peaceful hobby that I can always participate in.
- Volunteering. The feeling one gets from helping others is something that is unique and must be cherished. I find it necessary to give back to the community that sustains you.
