I believe you fundamentally own your technology. Manufacturer DRM, software locks, and engineered obsolescence have no place in a sustainable future. Every repair I perform is aimed at reducing e-waste — replacing the 50-cent failing capacitor rather than the $500 logic board.

I also believe that repair should be accessible to everyone, regardless of who you are or who you love. This shop is a proud LGBTQIA+ safe space. I’m committed to making tech repair inclusive, welcoming, and completely free of judgment. Your identity, orientation, and presentation have nothing to do with your right to have your devices fixed — and they’ll never be a factor here.

Technology isn't just about cool gadgets — for many of us, it's life-sustaining and liberating. As a Type 1 Diabetic who relies on an insulin pump every single day, I live firsthand how automated systems and algorithms increase human accessibility and independence. I bring that exact same philosophy to open technology and AI: algorithms should be ethical, accessible tools that empower individuals and level the playing field — not corporate gatekept black boxes.

Whether you’re dropping off a vintage receiver or a water-damaged laptop, you’ll be met with respect, transparency, and the same high standard of care I give every piece of equipment that comes through the door. This work is shaped by the people I love and the values they carry forward — that how you treat someone matters more than anything you fix.
