Hey there! Welcome to my personal website. I’m glad you stopped by. Allow me to introduce myself and what I’m up to lately.
💻 What I Do
I am a software engineer at Electronic Arts (EA Sports). I'm on the server team for the FC franchise. It's an incredible experience having the opportunity to work on a service enjoyed by millions of players around the world, and it's especially rewarding to know my work helps support a product that so many people love playing every day.
🛠️ On the Side: recharged-shop.com
For around a year I’ve been building recharged-shop.com. It started out as a sandbox project to improve my skills in full-stack development. However, struggling to sell my old iPhone around this time gave me the inspiration to convert it into a custom used electronics e-commerce platform. I believe I can help others purchase premium electronics without the premium price tag or get some cash for tech they have lying around. Best of all, I can help keep e-waste out of landfills while I'm at it. The platform is live, but I'm just running through a few finishing touches before I activate the store.
🃏 Pokémon TCG
Recently I have been deeply involved in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Though I haven't been to a Regional or International event yet, I'm actively putting in the work on the local scene. I am hoping to reach Ace Trainer status by the end of the season.
If you play the game, you already know what the meta looks like. The two decks I'm rotating through on both physical and digital tables right now are:
- Dragapult ex (Dusknoir Variant)
- Raging Bolt ex
I tried to make Rocket's Mewtwo ex work but was unsuccessful. I am currently keeping tabs on Mega Greninja; it looks promising.
🏃♂️ Other Passions
I try not to be glued to a screen all the time. When I'm not, I’m usually involved in my other passions including:
- Strength Training: I try to follow a pretty structured routine, upper-lower, upper-lower. Right now, I can hit a 2-plate bench, and am moving towards hitting a 3-plate squat soon.
- Running: To balance out all the sitting at a desk, I've been running quite a bit. I’m currently building up my mileage with the goal of running a half-marathon by the end of the year.
- Aquariums: I've always had a huge passion for aquariums and aquatic life. I'm a proud caretaker of 5 platys, 2 mystery snails, and 5 shrimp right now.
Thanks for stopping by! If you ever want to chat about technology, Pokémon cards, strength training, running, or aquariums, feel free to hit me up on any of my links on the home page!
