I was born and raised in Lodi, California. From Early on I have had a passion for technology and innovation. I was introduced to computers at an early age and have been fascinated with them ever since. Since I was first introduced to programming and software development, I have found that I enjoy creating new things and solving complex problems with computer programming.I'm currently a student at University of California - Riverside studying Computer Engineering. I am also Vice President of Highlander Combat Robotics, a project under ASME that focuses on the design and engineering process that goes into building and competing combat robots; and in my free time I am a software developer, writer, and gamer. I primarily code in C++, though I am familiar with Java, Javascript, and C# as well.
