Wardriving
I actively seek out Wi-Fi networks, examining them for vulnerabilities. While driving around, if I spot any outdated Wi-Fi standards that could be easily compromised, I reach out to the homeowners to bring the issue to their attention and advise them on potential risks. This not only allows me to gain valuable experience in identifying vulnerabilities but also contributes to community well-being—a win-win situation.

Building Computers
I built my first computer when I was 14 and still use it as my main PC today. After building my first computer, my friends wanted me to build them computers too. Soon after, I was the "computer guy," helping troubleshoot and fix family and friends' computers. I have built over ten and troubleshot more than I'd like to admit.

Repairing Phones
The first phone I repaired was my iPhone 5c I received for my 10th birthday. While it was a simple screen replacement, I liked the process so much that I began fixing my parents' phones, my brothers, my friends, and even my friends' parents. I gained experience this way and got to work on many different types of phones. This is what kickstarted my passion for computer repair.

Raspberry Pi
I got my first Raspberry Pi when I was 13 and spent many hours tinkering with it. I enjoyed the Pi 3 so much that I got the updated version, the Pi 4, years later for my 19th birthday. The new Pi 4 had a better processor and 8GB of ram; this opened the door to many more projects, these include: video game emulation, installing different versions of Linux, and hosting a local server.
