About Me

I've been building PCs for 10 years, since a friend helped me build my first rig when I was 10. Since then, I've been helping friends choose parts, build systems, and troubleshoot issues. CTRL+BUILD exists because I believe everyone deserves the same supportive, no-pressure guidance I received. No gatekeeping, no upselling; just genuine help from someone who loves this stuff.
