About Me

Welcome to my personal corner of the web, where I share a bit about myself and my passions. I’m a proud father of two and avid ball hockey player, coaching my kids' teams and playing year-round. I enjoy hands-on problem-solving—whether 3D printing, fixing things, or coding. My projects are ever evolving, but presently include web and game development with Godot, 3D Printing, and automating tasks with Python (such as a Flask app for smart plug control). Professionally, I’m a Technical Support Team Lead for logistics solutions. Family drives me, and I bring dedication and enthusiasm to everything I do.
