Ever since I was young, I was interested in computers and how they worked. I created ways to bring my ideas to fruition. When I was 11, I stumbled across a way for me to realize my own ideas: a programming language called "Expression 2" and I was immediately enthralled with what was possible. Even the most basic programs would excite me like nothing else, and a simple beginning of programs consisting entirely of text outputs quickly turned into creating board games and self-solving Rubik's cubes. I would spend hours reading pages of documentation to learn what was possible, always eager to create something new. In high school, I took every computer science class available and was always interested in adding features to my projects and optimizing my code. It was a fun challenge for me to push my code and myself to the limit.My time at UCO only helped to reinforce my love and passion for software. I became fascinated with software architecture, design patterns, and algorithms. I was always looking for every opportunity to apply the concepts I had learned.I decided to pursue a masters at ASU knowing my pursuit for knowledge was not yet satisfied. I learned much more in-depth about topics I had previously learned including development life-cycles, project management, and software documentation. Despite learning so much, I don't think my pursuit for knowledge will ever be satisfied.I'm excited for what is to come as there will always more to learn and to create. I hope to always continue learning and to work with people as eager and passionate about software as I am.Languages and Frameworks: React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, React Native, Python, PHP, Java, C++Skills: Full-Stack Development, Software Design and Architecture, UML Documentation, Scrum and Agile SDLC
