Serial Hobbyist
The combination of curiosity and keeping busy has lead me to try different activities over the years.
At a young age, my parents gave me an ultimatum: tap dance or tae kwon do. I went with the latter just because I thought it was badass. Little did I know that would become a reoccurring thought process to everything I try next.
You named it, I've probably at least dabbled in it. Golf, aggressive inline skating, tae kwon do, speed stacking, kendama, begleri, percussion, longboarding, filipino martial arts, mechanical keyboard building, music producing, live streaming, breakdancing, countless sports and skill toys and so much more
Current Projects:
Online Streaming and Producing
I became heavily involved on Twitch in 2018 after learning a couple friends live streamed occasionally on the platform. I've lurked around several communities there and eventually started streaming myself. I've only streamed a handful of times because of general anxiety or lack of content or time. What really got me excited was the initial setting up for streams, learning all the different aspects that went into streaming, and finetuning everything.
The pandemic has forced what would normally be in person to evolve into virtual space. There's so many tools out there to engage online outside of Zoom and chat rooms and I want to build solutions that engage audiences and empower creators.
Mechanical Keyboard Building
My coworkers would chat about how much better typing would be with a mechanical keyboard and I wanted to be cool like them and be in the know. I then went out and ordered what looked like a mechanical keeb because it was just still a membrane keyboard with blue LEDs. *face palm* I saved up for a Ducky One 2 with cherry mx brown switches that I LOVED. I learned people actually made their own keebs and then began the rabbit hole of researching form factors, switches, keycaps, and even how to solder. It's like building legos but with an electronic twist. #tactilegang
