Have been editing Wikipedia on and off since 2017, but I've been wanting to improve more on a lot of the technical aspects of computers and all the engineering behind it that just so few people are able to explain, let alone type in a way that's understandable to the layperson. For now this user page will do until I feel it needs to be completely changed.

Background

Since I was 3 years old with a high end at the time Toshiba satellite with a Pentium 4 (!) and a GeForce 4 series GPU (!!), I've always loved computers and I didn't understand at the time of course what a CPU or GPU was, let alone how it worked in any capacity. But it was just insane how impressive it was to me compared to all the other technology I was surrounded by, I thought that no other computer could beat it, no other screen could beat it, it was even better than our 22 inch CRT TV!

Obviously now it seems laughably slow compared to the modern processors, or even compared to smartphones SoCs. The laptop still works 20+ years later, if only the hinge wasn't broken, otherwise I would attempt to use it more than once in a blue moon.

Now I'm in a community college to study for Engineering. It took me a while to decide on that, with me considering IT and video game programming, but I realized with how much reverse engineering of games I've been doing in my free time, and having to learn about x86 and PowerPC in the process, I want to be learning how the actual architecture of CPU's and SoCs work and to eventually help develop them. As to me there's nothing much cooler than working on something that highly advanced.

Besides knowing about computers I also love cars especially of course the engineering and aerodynamics of them (most likely why I also love planes). Would love to do car racing or even own a plane but both are out of the realm of possibility currently, so stuck with just flying in Ace Combat 7 and Project Wingman.

I'm in progress for learning German just for a friend I know, not amazing at it, but definitely getting better at it than the average American. Speaking of America, I wouldn't mind going to a different country like Germany, Switzerland, Norway, and many other countries within this decade, for reasons like studying, or being with people I know overseas, and generally just political reasons.

My goals for Wikipedia

The main reason I've been editing on this website and still do, is to not only correct information that might be hard for a person to even know what it is, but make content to help people understand a subject that's way too complicated. That's why I love the List of Nvidia graphics processing units article, I unironically use it still to compare GPU's at a low level. I'm hoping to make sure that page, List of AMD graphics processing units, List of Intel graphics processing units, and among other similar pages help a person compare them at that kind of a level which I find no website is even able to do as cleanly as them.

I won't be active all the time on Wikipedia, but I'll try to remain semi active for now, and usually I'm the type to make big edits on one page, rather than multiple smaller edits on multiple pages.

Hopefully I can build up more knowledge with editing Wikipedia and create an article, but for now I just edit articles that I have an interest on usually.

To other editors

If you think that I changed an article that you edited that you might have an interest for, and want to tell me that I did something wrong, or made a horrible mistake that would spread misinformation. Remember that I'm human and is able to make mistakes, so hopefully we can both discuss it in the article's talk page!
