Technology has always been my source of inspiration and motivation. This constantly changing field always leaves me in both awe and anticipation. Ever since I was a child, I've always had a passion for computers and electronics in general. I used to take apart everything my hands could reach just to see the insides and figure out how and why it worked the way it did. I started programming as a pre-teen (probably around 11 or 12) and have been hooked to the subject ever since. My first language was C++, but I didn't take a liking to it. I fell in love with the .NET language C# in my first programming session with it. Since then, my skills as a programmer and software designer have grown tremendously (and I started to like C++). I went from throwing code together to get an end result to actually planning my design from the ground up before proceeding. My passion for computers and programming continues to grow and I always find myself making little personal projects just to explore a new framework or design practice.I've spent many years since 2013 learning Web frameworks (React and Angular), Web server development (node.js/express and ASP.NET), databases (mongodb and PostgreSQL), embedded systems (Android and Fuchsia), and programming languages (C#, C++, Python, Go, and Rust).
