About Me

Based in Christchurch, NZ. Currently working/studying as a fabrication apprentice. Growing up I was always interested in pulling things apart, and on occasion putting them back together.

Now I build combat robots, play Magic: The Gathering, and spend too much time fixing my Linux installation.

When I'm not in the workshop, I'm probably at work lol.
