Everything
I've built.

Moved into heavier repairs to unlock cheaper buys, learn surface prep the right way, and build confidence with structural repair, filler work, and repainting.

• 2010 Dodge Ram 1500: rust/rot and side scuffing; wet-sanded, reinforced with metal backing, shaped with filler, sanded flush, repainted, and clear coated.
• 2011 Lexus ES 350: frontal-collision repair involving frame correction, panel removal, fender repair, repainting, and reassembly.
• Each repair pushed me further into structural correction, cleaner prep, and higher-quality finishing work.

Built a local tinting/wrap service after proofing every mod on my 2013 Mazda 3: taillights, 5% window tint, sunstrips, and meticulous masking.

• Learned tinting, wrapping, and upholstery on my own Mazda 3 before offering paid work.
• Scaled into local service work for family, friends, and neighbors with 5% tint and clean sunstrips.
• Taillight requests ranged from full smoke to masked red-only tints for OEM-style finishes.

Full interior refreshes: alcantara door inserts, red leather seat conversions, and hand-stitched wheels proven on my Mazda 3 before delivering for clients.

• Alcantara-style door inserts: pulled panels, wrapped, and stitched for a factory-plus finish.
• Seat conversions: removed, re-fit, and stitched custom covers to transform the cabin.
• Custom wheel wraps: measured, cut, and hand-stitched perforated leather.
• Delivered the same treatment on client cars, including a red interior conversion for a Lexus ES 350.

Wrapped my Mazda 3 in a half-and-half scheme (satin black + red) using knifeless tape, inlays, and overlays to nail the seams and edges.

• Door prep: wrapped exterior skins and door jambs separately for clean shut lines.
• Half-and-half seam: knifeless tape and panel-by-panel alignment across hood, fenders, and doors.
• Inlays/overlays: broke the rear bumper and tight corners into sections for tension-free coverage.
• Full finish: trunk, quarter panels, and final two-tone reveal.

Hands-on wiring and fabrication: valved exhaust with welded-in hardware, Arduino lightbar integration, and full headunit/camera upgrades.

• Valved exhaust: MIG-welded section, remote-controlled butterfly valve, and hardwired switch/12V feed.
• Arduino lightbar: strobe + brightness control, wired cleanly behind the grille with OEM-style cabin switch.
• Infotainment upgrades: aftermarket headunit, amp integration, backup camera, and CarPlay conversion.

Client-specific parts lists tuned to budget and performance, shared with pros/cons and revised to preferences.

• Worked with the team to push orders and keep status synced.
• Documented pros/cons for each part; adjusted for color, performance, and compatibility.
• Used Excel + Google Calendar so any teammate could pick up an unfinished order.
• Included price breakdowns and upgrade paths per user request.

Fully functional build station for assembly, diagnosis, and content creation, with an operational test bench.

• Diagnosed SSDs, HDDs, and GPUs before installs.
• Kept replacement parts, screws, OS install drives, and tools within reach.
• Setup doubled for media capture to document builds.

Common customer configurations, watercooled or air-cooled, plus upgrade and diagnostic slots for existing systems.

• Watercooling and air-cooled tiers with client-driven aesthetics (RGB-heavy, all-white, minimalist).
• Notable builds: Intel Arc GPU showcase (new at the time), full-RGB rig, and an all-white themed system.
• Upgrades/diagnostics like case + cooler refreshes for existing PCs with same-day turnaround when possible.

Instagram: Cosmic_PCs — showcased builds, shared build videos, and answered client questions.

• Recorded on GoPro and edited with Adobe for reels and build videos.
• Managed DMs to respond to interested clients and prospects.
• Directed people to example builds, pricing, and timelines straight from Instagram.
