About Me

Hello! I'm a third-year student studying CS at the University of Guelph. I was born in Toronto, Canada. My interest in computers started in 9th grade when I wanted to build my first computer. I had a limited budget, so I bought an office computer with a i7-2600K at the time, and I upgraded the GPU to an RX 580. I had to swap out the PSU in it as well.

Afterwards, I didn't like how it looked so I sold the computer and realized I had made a decent profit, compared to what I bought the computer and its components for. Over time, I learned more about desktops, laptops, and their peripherals on the used market. I kept buying computers, and I would strategically upgrade or modify them to maximize profit, and then resell them.

I'm in the process of building this website which is supposed to serve two purposes:

I want to allow users to use this website as a memory bank and a trophy case, saving the computers they've interacted with over the years. Secondly, I want it to help monitor expenses and profits related to those machines.

In the future, I wish to include prices from sites like Kijiji and Facebook Marketplace but it would be hard to implement as they don't have an official API.
