Personal Projects
More than anything, I am a student. There is nothing I would rather be doing than learning, I'll learn about virtually anything! In the past year I have been an avid 3D-Printer and CAD designer, since receiving my Bambu Lab A1 I would bet it has spent more time printing than it has been turned off! I have also been attending community college classes to dive deeper into the technologies I use at work as well as satiate some personal interests. Feel free to contact me with any questions, I would love to talk about my projects!
Home Server
I have setup a home server to learn about networking and self-hosting. I have multiple applications running on the server at all times. This has allowed me to apply networking concepts I learned to keep my LAN safe as well as learning Docker/Rancher from the ground up to host simple Spring APIs and Flutter Webpages.
Simple Spring APIs:
Both of these return simple strings, nothing fancy

Flutter Apps:
Application to track expenses, the idea is to track expenses for "fun" things so it's easier to know how much you're spending on superfluous items
https://hello.barcoprojects.com/
Application to hold onto personal data. This site would take user's information and send notifications to necessary places to update the info given by the user. For example, if a user moves addresses, they can update in this app and we will update the address for them in their banks, credit cards, etc.
3D printing
I've been 3D printing for awhile now, using Onshape as my CAD software of choice, I design 90% of the things I print. Pictured here is my grinding metal off a motor for use in a cat toy, a projector holder that slots into a light in my ceiling, the first rendition of a cat toy that what not exactly what I wanted, and finally the first thing I designed, shelves for childhood knick-knacks I took home after visiting my family. I have printed much more than this, but this is what I took pictures of
3 Stripe Ju Jitsu White Belt
I have been doing Ju Jitsu for about a year and a half now and I have been loving every minute of it. I took 2nd place in my first tournament and I'm working on losing weight to enter a different weight-class before my next one
