My fascination with computers started in the nineties, drawn in by early hacker culture and the realization that a real hacker is, at heart, simply a skilled programmer. Wired for deep, narrow focus, I gravitated early toward math and technology—working through C before finding Perl, a language I still rely on for automation and glue code. Today, I value the simplicity, documentation, and correctness of OpenBSD, strongly preferring quiet Unix environments over mainstream operating systems.
Late nights were shaped by AM talk radio, tuning into Loveline and Coast to Coast AM after midnight. I remain a lifelong admirer of the late Art Bell and have deep respect for George Knapp’s investigative work. That same curiosity extends into the study of consciousness, altered states of mind, and the modern UAP reality that we are not alone.
Outside of tech, music is a constant backdrop—mostly melodic trance and progressive electronic music (Above & Beyond, Armin van Buuren, Tiësto, Eric Prydz, Deadmau5) alongside sharp lyricism (2Pac, Eminem, Harry Mack). Inspired by Miss Monique and watching ARIatHOME, I recently started learning production firsthand with FL Studio and an Arturia MiniLab 3. In both my environment and my craft, I lean toward minimalism, steady routines, and predictable systems.
