I would also consider myself a DIY/Enthusiast type, lately I've gotten into component level repair (with varying success). Did my first build ~'91 (386/25) and have built, modified or repaired about 50 PC's since then.

I am a tech enthusiast. I am relatively new the ecosystem, but I still have that burning passion about performance and reliability.

I'm not an IT guy, but have influence on IT decision in the company. Also, I'm a wild card go-to guy when our IT manager is not available, or unable to find solution, since I have a little bit of knowledge over computer, mostly hardware, but some software stuff as well.

I simply cannot get enough of computers. If I could sit around fixing, building, and maintaining a group of computers, I would be content with my life.

Mainly a DIY techie while doing occasional computer services for local businesses.

Other than that, nothing beats building some electronics, and making one off items on some perfboard
