- Ran registers, drive-thru, fry, and prep.
- Trained new hires once I knew the stations well enough to.

- Diagnosed and fixed hydraulics, electrical, and mechanical on combines.
- 90 hour weeks through harvest.
- Wiring diagrams, service manuals, and whatever the diagnostic tool told me.
GangDEV
- Candor, DCOPS, Lafter, Inspectre, Creodin. All of them mine end to end.
- PHP, JavaScript, PostgreSQL. Auth, data models, and the servers it all runs on.
- I decide what gets built, how it works, and what it looks like.
- Microsoft data center. M1s, M2s, T2s, line cards, SFP modules.
- Coupler panels, patch panels, power and out of band cabling.
- Held an active clearance the whole time I was there.
- Meta data center logistics. Made SLC lead in about three months.
- Metrics lead four months after that.
- Rewrote the SLC SOP. Leadership signed off and it stuck.
- Bonus for a rack season with nothing going wrong.
- Break/fix, cabling, and hardware swaps, on nights.
- Wrote a browser tool for the ticket, resolve, and metrics work. 22,000 lines across 40-odd internal sites.
- Turns per-item clicking into bulk runs that queue and retry themselves.
- Shows pace and throughput per person and team. Nothing else did.
About Me
I build web products, game engines, and tools for whatever I'm working on. Most of it lives under GangDev: Candor, DCOPS, Lafter, Inspectre, two game engines I wrote from scratch, and a browser tool I use at work. I do the design, the code, the database, the hosting, and the upkeep. I work nights as a data center technician and build the rest around it.
I grew up homeschooled in Pleasant Grove, Utah with a tight family, kind of in our own world. Minecraft with my family at eight, command blocks by eleven, running servers at twelve, datapacks at fifteen, GangDev at seventeen.
My dad got me into all of this. Chris Hansen. He created FX.php and open-sourced it when he could've charged for it. He helped me set up my first GitHub repo, my first Linux instance, my first Minecraft world. I wanted to make things the way he did.
I code because I can make things that don't exist. Games I couldn't play, tools I didn't have. GangDev turned into something bigger when my dad got his last cancer diagnosis. I didn't have the tools or knowledge to fix what was happening, and that stuck with me. Now I'm trying to solve as many problems as I can, and these tools give me better control over how I spend my time doing it.
Every job I've had feeds back into what I build. In-N-Out paid for infrastructure, mechanic work got my adult life going, data center tech got me into the industry, and each one showed me tools that don't exist yet. DCOPS came from logistics deficiencies, Candor came from productivity struggles while working full-time.
No degree. I code for fun more than anyone I've met, and I didn't need a paper to prove I can be consistent. Five years from now I want to be self-sufficient, married to my girlfriend Jalyn, in a house I designed and built, always making things.
