About Me
Get to know more about my journey, skills, and what drives my passion for technology.
My Story
I'm a passionate full-stack developer and computer science student who believes in the power of technology to solve real-world problems. My journey in programming began in my last semester of high school when I took AP Computer Science Principles and I've been hooked ever since.
Currently pursuing my degree at Houston Christian University, I've had the opportunity to work on diverse projects ranging from Raspberry Pi projects to Full-Stack applications. I specialize in modern technologies like React, TypeScript, and cloud platforms.
When I'm not coding, you can find me contributing to open-source projects, mentoring fellow students, or exploring the latest trends in web development and artificial intelligence.
