About Me
“It's hard to talk about yourself.” - Sugar Ray Leonard
Was born and raised on Galveston Island, Texas into a Hispanic household while learning to be bilingual. Not much of my grade school education was unique, but loved being a technician in theatre. My loving family gave me the opportunity to get me in higher education, earning my Bachelors in Computer Science from UTRGV.
Gaming of all sorts is how I like to spend my free time; with my bigger interests being Magic The Gathering, Kickstarter board games to discover, and some RPGs or platformers on the Switch. Other projects I spend on my free time are researching and working on cars that can race. Discipline, respect, and leadership are qualities I've picked up while I was a Martial Arts instructor for 5 years.
In my future, I plan on getting years of industry experience as a Software Engineer. Expanding my skills and keeping up with new technology is what will empower me into a Full Stack position. Including a DevOps culture and techniques, I believe to be able to fit into an software architectural role. After making an impact in industry, I want to make an impact in young adult lives by becoming a professor at the undergrad level. Never having guidance when I was an first generation undergrad made it tough navigating life's bigger decisions, which is why I want to provide that guidance to those in a similar position.

NAS
Keep personal device storages clear while sharing files. This helps keep projects and important files accessible from anywhere when working with my Pi VPN.
This project uses Samba to manage a 1TB HDD attached to my Pi. With this protocol I can expose this port to my home network to access this storage from any device.

SMB
Pi VPN
A Virtual Private Network that helps connect to my devices from anywhere. It also provides me a quick and secure way to be on public WiFi through encryption and sending packets using UDP
Using a Raspberry Pi board, I installed PiVPN with a Wireguard configuration. After this, I just needed to keep a consistent IP address and port forward the server through my ISP's router. Once I've shared keys with trusted devices, I could now connect to my home lab from anywhere.
