Computers and electronics have been my passion since the approximate age of 14. Throughout the years, I have made it my priority to familiarize myself with, as Leo LaPorte says, “anything with a chip in it”. I consider myself knowledgeable in a vast number of technologies, including but not limited to, servers, desktops, laptops, smartphones, enterprise networks, and wireless.
