One day, I shall come back. Yes, I shall come back. Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine. ~ William Hartnell, The First Doctor

Accomplishments

What I’ve Done

IT Field – Former Team Leader, Installer, Customer Care, Tech Support, Logistics Technician, Remote work and Networking for the VRS industries.

First Responders – When disaster struck, I volunteered to join the frontline humanitarian relief efforts alongside my partner, Sel Staley, for Off-The-Grid Missions, a 501©(3) nonprofit organization founded by Angela Maria Nardolillo. Due to government negligence that abandoned its people, the mission focuses on Deaf folks who were devastated by the catastrophic 2017 Category 5 Hurricane Maria, the deadliest and costliest hurricane in Puerto Rico's history. I was able to help because of my tech background, travel experience, communication skills, and cultural knowledge.

Bragging Rights

• I contain multitudes – I’m a blend of contradictions, skills, and experiences that make me uniquely me.
• Mastered the art of brewing the perfect cup of coffee.
• Procrastination expert – always find time for the essentials (like coffee breaks and daydreaming).
• Successfully avoided getting a smartphone for over three years.
• Survived a year without electric power – turns out you can really live without Wi-Fi.
• Outsmarted a vending machine – with nothing but a roll of quarters and a deep understanding of its mechanics.
• Fixed tech problems with creativity and sheer determination – no duct tape required.
• Tried to survive an entire month without binge-watching a single show... but well, you know how it goes.

Hobbies & Passions

• Stargazing: When I’m not glued to a screen, I’m out there, gazing through the lens at the vast grandeur and majesty of the Cosmos, reminding us that we are but a speck of sand and insignificant in the grand scheme of things. I wonder if extraterrestrial life is out there watching us.
• Avid Video Gamer: I'm a sucker for RPG / JRPG games.
• Photography & Astrophotography: Sadly, I can’t afford it right now – it's pretty expensive, but one day I hope to get into it.
• Sustainable living: I actually try to practice what I preach – cutting down on waste without going completely overboard – like going outside and touching grass.
• Books! The best weapons in the world – the greatest arsenal we could have.
• Science & Sci-Fi: I'm always wondering about stuff we don't understand yet – whether it’s the latest in quantum mechanics or devouring classic sci-fi novels. Time travel is one of my favorite topics.

Social Network Presence

After the Twitter mass exodus in 2022, I abandoned centralized corporate social networks (stop calling it social media, no seriously) and jumped ship to what I hoped would be the holy grail of the Promised Land: open-source decentralized platforms like the Fediverse, which uses the ActivityPub protocol. No ads, no algorithms, no bullshit – but with more cat memes. I actually get to hang out with cool nerds, geeks, climate activists, scientists, and good techies, instead of feeding the corporate machine.
