Developer identity / Portfolio 2026
I build software, products, and the systems around them.
I’m a 3rd-year BS Computer Science student, software and product developer, Co-Founder of AYOS Technologies, and Founder & Developer of Admino. My work spans mobile products, developer tools, larger software systems, collaborative game development, QA, and hands-on computer and mobile diagnostics and repair.
01 / Current practice
The work, as it stands now.
02 / How I got here
Fromhardwareto systems.
- 01Hands-on technology
Troubleshooting came before product development.
Growing up around a family computer-shop environment and later taking repair work made technology practical early: PCs, laptops, Windows setups, hardware problems, phones, networks, and customer-facing troubleshooting.
- 02Software
Computer Science gave the same mindset another medium.
Instead of only diagnosing an existing system, I started designing and building the system itself. Web work, mobile development, product planning, data flows, and interface decisions became another way to solve concrete problems.
- 03Owned systems
The work moved from exercises into products and tools.
Admino, ARQ Tools, FileNest, ProductTruth, RbxTestLab, EdgeLog, and private tooling such as Personal Skin Manager each push a different part of the same practice: define the problem, structure the system, build deliberately, then test what actually works.
- 04Company + collaboration
Building with other people changed the scale of the work.
AYOS Technologies and My Baby Pooped a Mythic add shared ownership, assigned scope, integration boundaries, review, and delivery. They are reminders that useful software is not only an individual implementation exercise.
03 / How I work
Different medium. Same discipline.
- 01Understand
What exists now? What is actually wrong? Who is affected, and what constraints matter?
- 02Build
Change the system deliberately, with the structure and implementation tied to the problem.
- 03Verify
Test behavior, edge cases, integration, responsive states, and the evidence behind the result.
- 04Improve
Document what changed, keep the useful parts, and iterate from what the result actually shows.
