Two callsigns, one operator

I'm a high-school student and self-taught developer who got pulled into amateur radio the first time a handful of watts carried my voice to a stranger on the other side of a mountain. That little miracle — that radio works at all — has shaped almost everything I've built since.

By day I write code: web applications, data pipelines, and increasingly the retrieval-augmented AI systems that are quietly rewiring how software answers questions. By night I'm in the shack, chasing weak signals, decoding satellite telemetry, and logging contacts that turn a map of the world into a list of people I've actually spoken to.

The two halves aren't separate. Radio taught me to respect physics and noise floors; programming gave me the tools to bend them. Somewhere in the overlap — SDR, DSP, embedded systems, and the maths of orbits — is the work I most want to do, and the reason this station exists in the first place.
