Who I Am

In my freetime you can find me on discord asking stupid questions, camping, listening to ham radio and taking random things apart, because taking things apart is FUN.

Why I'm on Hackaday.io

I am currently trying to see what makes Cable/Sattelite DVRs tick under the hood. We know most are MIPS based. I really want to get into those RDK DVRs, but i must be a patient padawan so to speak. I am also on the spectrum so certain things become obsessions at some points and then i lose interest, and then the interest gets piqued again. Then I see something shiny and i'm like doug from up... SQUIRREL

Additionally I have a interest in ham radio, but i dont have a license for it.
