About Me

I type a lot and build cool things.

At my core, I am a creative and outgoing individual, obsessed with learning new programming techniques and practices. To me, software engineering is more than just a job, it's an opportunity. Developing meaningful projects and helping people solve problems is my highest priority.

While I feel comfortable with the speed at which I am learning, I am looking to diversify myself as a developer, manager, and human. I am actively seeking experiences where I can apply my skills and learn new information in diverse environments.
