Understanding, modifying, and improving complex systems through analysis, experimentation, and problem-solving.
I have over a decade of experience working with closed and undocumented systems, learning how they function through testing, experimentation, and analysis. This includes modifying game consoles, operating systems, and software environments to unlock additional functionality, improve usability, or correct misunderstood behaviors. Rather than relying on instructions alone, I focus on understanding how systems work at a deeper level so I can adapt, troubleshoot, and build reliable solutions even when documentation is limited or nonexistent.
Relevant Skills
Relevant Skills
• Reverse engineering and modifying closed consumer systems
• Working with undocumented or poorly documented environments

• Building custom workflows and configurations for long-term usability
• Translating technical discoveries into clear documentation for others
Practical Applications
Practical Applications
• Nintendo Wii & Wii U system modding, including custom configurations and tooling
• Discovery and documentation of a previously misunderstood system behavior within the Wii/Wii U modding community
• iOS jailbreaking and system customization, including optimization of third-party tools and workflows
• Designing stable, repeatable setups rather than one-off modifications
