 During Spring of 2016 I built my second personal desktop. Since the previous system I was running was from freshman year of high school the upgrade was needed. The new system runs a 6700k Intel Processor, 32GB of RAM, a 512TB SSD and a 760 GTX.

 After seeing a number of RC Robotic Car projects I decided to build my own. I found a rolling chassis for a Traxxas E-Max and originally planned to modify the ackerman steering to skid steer but after looking at the design of the chassis I decided to keep the steering.

 I prototyped a similar system for class but it was deployed on a different RC car. My hope is that is the final system will hack a normal RC car ESC and will be simple to drop on to any "supported" car and ESC.

 I have long been interested in networking but mostly as a means to an end. Only in recent years have I started to learn more about both my home network and masters research.

My current home network runs a pfsense router, a unmanaged switch and an Unifi Pro Access Point. On the network I have static IP addresses for most devices and severs along with a dhcp server to handle the rest. In addition I am running a Vpn Server for connecting to my internal network from outside my local network. I hope to continue to evolve my current network with plans to add QOS, a guest wifi on a separate subnet and bonded links for higher throughput from my desktop to my NAS.

 My Home NAS has been an on going project for the past few years. For a long time I wanted somewhere that I could easily back up files without having to worry about running out of space, bit rot or hard drive failure.

 The NAS I built uses a micro ITX server board, 6 3TB hard drives and 16 gb of ecc memory. I decided on using freeNAS and ZFS2 to provide two drive redundancy. In addition by running FreeNAS I am able to use the Jails to provide other services.

 I joined the Oregon State University (OSU) Mars Rover Team Freshman year. Upon joining I was elected to be the lead of electronics on the rover. Over the next two years I along with a team of undergraduates built a robot to compete in the University Mars Rover Challenge.

 After learning about Linux back in High School I did the normal progression from Ubuntu to many different distributions and finally to something a little more custom which in my case was Archlinux. While I much prefer Arch over Ubuntu, my constant use of the Robot Operating System (ROS) over the past few years has required me to keep it around. By using Arch I have had the chance to learn more about low level Linux (nothing is setup for you) and troubleshooting for both Linux and the boot loader.

 During Freshman of college two friends and I entered in a electrical engineering school competition to build a project using parts from Tekbot (the lab kit store). While most people choose to modify the robots provided, we decided to build a Blimp. The project exceeded all our expectations and the blimp flew great, barring any slow breeze. We won awards in all three categories we were able to compete in.

 The minibot project is something I worked on my Junior/Senior year of High School. It was my first robotics personal project.

 Freshman year of high school I built my first computer. Up until that point I had been using my families computer. The system I built ran a q6600 with a whole 4 GB of ram (I splurged for an extra 2GB) and a 500GB hard drive. The system I built ended up lasting me eight years instead, through both high school and college.

 In high school I participated in the First Robotics Competition (FRC). My Freshman year I joined a group of Junior and Senior friends who were starting an FRC team. During my four years on the team I transitioned the team from a group of friends to a sustainable team that still competes yearly.

 While in middle school I participated in the FLL competition. In our first year we won the Directors Award and got to compete at the State Competition.
