I've been interested in programming for a long time, the problem-solving and challenge have always been exciting and satisfying. I started in junior high as a programmer for my robotics team. I did robotics again in high school and continued exploring other ways to get into programming. I learned HTML and CSS and experimented with creating websites and hosting them using GitHub pages.I took my first programming class in my senior year of high school. I loved it, and I continue to expand my programming skills to pursue a career as a software developer. Free time for programming on my own is harder to find, but I do my best to carve it out.
