Behind the Code
They call me Tanks. I'm a systems architect and hardware modifier operating out of SoCal. Whether I'm pushing consumer silicon beyond factory specs, spinning up autonomous local AI swarms, or engineering secure backend infrastructure, my approach is always the same: no compromise on performance.
Sometimes I fix what wasn't broken—because factory specs are just suggestions. When I'm not deep in a terminal writing custom drivers, you can find me fine-tuning my sim racing rig or optimizing my outdoor cultivation setup. I engineer robust, high-performance systems for both the digital and physical world. Next on the agenda: I am building a battle bot. If it has a microcontroller and a motor, I'm going to push it to the absolute limit—I'll just try to avoid accidentally building the perfect bot for war.
