Michael Santamaria Email & Phone Number

Since the age of 14, my passion for becoming a software engineer has started. My journey began with coding in the Unity Game Engine, where I was into creating small indie games. My earliest creation was Simple Shot, an endless top-down game where players battled waves of enemies. After a month of development, I decided to submit it to the Google Play Store. While it didn't achieve the great success that my 14-year-old self wanted, the experience of building was the most fun.Over the years, I continued to create small games, honing my skills in game development. Not content with just game design, I ventured into the realm of hosting game servers for friends and even began charging a modest fee for the service. In doing so, I learned Linux server management, website hosting, and domain administration. It was at this point that I realized my true calling lay in software development.I started to research software development, and I reached out to friends and family, seeking connections. Someone introduced me to devCodeCamp, and I made the decision to join their program. In the span of 12 weeks, they not only expanded my technical skills but also nurtured my passion for software engineering.This journey has shaped me into the software enthusiast I am today, and I'm excited to continue growing and contributing to the world of technology.By all means, Reach out if you want to talk about technology or software development. I have a great passion for it.C# .NET, ASP.NET Core, JavaScript, React.js, HTML, CSS, SQL, Linux Servers, and Domain Management
