About Me

Ira Pappas

Ira Pappas
My first computer was a clunky desktop in my dad’s office, its green-screen monitor flickering with BASIC code I barely understood.

Think of me as the friend who’s always happy to help, whether you’re troubleshooting a glitch or just trying to figure out what your laptop’s doing under the hood.
