My origins as an enthusiast and my interest in tech began by rooting and installing custom OSs like Lineage and ResurrectionRemix onto my Galaxy S5 back in 2016. My interests in tech expanded outwards to learning more about everything, from smartphones, laptops, and desktops, to servers, virtualization, and the cloud.
I'm probably the strongest opponent to social media apps (particularly those controlled by Meta) you'll ever meet! And it's all due to their absolute monopoly over personal communication, abysmal privacy and security track records, and their adverse effects on mental health and productivity.
I'm in my third year of Computer Science at Western University, and I'm CompTIA Security+, Network+, and A+ certified. My goal is to go in cybersecurity upon graduation, and I'm relentlessly attaining both cloud skills and the skills needed to defend critical digital infrastructure.
