About Me

IT expect who lives between software and silicon.

Software Developer and Apple Hardware & Software Technician with deep passion for technology, problem-solving, and advanced electronics. Expertise spans software development, iOS development, computer systems, Apple device diagnostics, board-level repair, and microsoldering.

I specialize in understanding technology beyond the user interface — from developing digital solutions to diagnosing complex hardware faults at component level. Every device tells a story in voltage rails and stack traces.

How I Work
1
Diagnose before you desolder.
2
Write code like hardware — every byte has a cost.
3
Document everything. Repair is knowledge.
