M4cgyvers Repurposed Mining Rig!
Software, hardware, and a little creative reuse. A personal workshop by Logan Rios.

Curious about how it works.
Happiest building it.
I’m a California native who enjoys building software, exploring computer systems, and finding new uses for old hardware. My curiosity takes me from writing an x86 operating system to preserving the web, experimenting with local AI, and turning a retired mining rig into something useful again. I’m especially drawn to projects that let me understand how things work beneath the surface—and build something I can keep using.
I started taking college-level programming courses in junior high, then built on that foundation through Brea Olinda’s Global IT Academy and coursework at Grand Canyon University and Fullerton College. Along the way, I completed MIT Professional Education’s certificate program in Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence. I still learn best by doing: following a tutorial, digging through documentation, and working through the parts that don’t go as planned.
That same approach carries into my professional work. At 2911Tech, I’ve helped build custom applications and integrate AI into client workflows using tools such as Python, TypeScript, C#, and Microsoft Azure AI. My experience also includes website and database migrations, hardware repair, and translating client needs into working software. Whether I’m solving a practical problem or tinkering with retro technology, I enjoy connecting software and hardware in unexpected ways.
