Hi, I'm Alex

Software Engineer & Hardware Enthusiast

I enjoy creating things that work. This includes writing software, managing servers, and troubleshooting hardware and networking. I aim to make systems reliable and practical, whether it’s a web app, a homelab setup, or a piece of hardware I’ve fine-tuned myself. Outside of technology, I am passionate about motorcycles and mechanics. I spend a lot of time riding, working on bikes, and learning how to optimize their performance and service. For me, whether it’s code or a machine, it revolves around problem-solving, hands-on learning, and ensuring everything runs well.

About Me

I’m a software engineer and hardware tinkerer. I enjoy building things that work, both online and in the real world. My journey into tech began with a curiosity about how systems and machines fit together. It has evolved into a career centered on creating reliable, scalable, and practical solutions.

I enjoy working across the stack. I code web applications, set up servers, manage infrastructure, and troubleshoot networks. For me, the process of solving problems is just as important as the final product.

When I'm not working with code or hardware, you’ll usually find me on a motorcycle or in the garage. Riding and fixing things fuel the same curiosity and drive that brought me into tech. I enjoy learning how things work, pushing performance, and the craft of building and maintaining systems.
