DEFAULTS.
Curious about every layer—from the metal to the interface.
I’m a student developer based in Portland. I spend my time exploring Linux, programming, networking, server administration, AI, and the less-traveled corners of computer hardware.
My projects are hands-on: building an OS, running a home NAS, making unsupported hardware boot macOS, testing network defenses, and writing tools that make complicated setups easier.
GitHub profile ↗A growing collection of systems, experiments, and deep dives.
An Arch-based Linux distribution featuring KDE Plasma, Miku-inspired branding, a custom Plymouth boot splash, and the Calamares graphical installer.
macOS Tahoe on a Ryzen ThinkBook with GPU acceleration, multi-touch, audio, and detailed troubleshooting notes.
An old PC repurposed into a TrueNAS system for storage, lightweight projects, and virtual machines.
A practical UFW and Firegex setup for learning traffic rules, network exposure, and defensive configuration.
A Python utility that downloads, extracts, and launches local AI models through a simpler guided workflow.
