What keeps me engaged.

A FEW THINGS IN MY ORBIT ↙
01 — TECHNOLOGY

Computers & systems

I love computers — the hardware, the systems, and the thinking that makes everything work together.

EngineeringPC hardwareTechnology
02 — PLAY

A competitive streak

League of Legends is my favorite game. Rengar is my main. Fortnite is another place I enjoy the challenge.

03 — IDEAS

Thinking on paper

Writing gives ideas somewhere to go. Sometimes a mechanical pencil and a blank page are all I need.

05 / A little about me

A technical mind.
A personal point of view.

I'm JC. I enjoy building computers, bringing people together through games, and making technology more approachable through teaching.

My interests move between the technical and the creative: computers, competitive games, and writing. This is a small home for those different sides of me.

Outside of screens and notebooks, my cat Snowball has a special place in my life.

More to explore.

This space will grow alongside my ideas and interests.
