Who?

Software Engineer from the Golden State

profile

Nestled along the sun-kissed shores of Long Beach, California, my upbringing was a delightful blend of beachside bliss and geeky introspection. While others frolicked in the surf, you'd often find me holed up in my room, lost in the world of video games or tinkering with old computers, captivated by the boundless possibilities of technology.

Driven by an insatiable thirst for progress, I set out to chase my dreams. Enter Sheep Upkeep, my humble attempt at game development. Though not exactly a blockbuster hit, it was a defining moment that solidified my passion for all things tech.

Seeking to hone my craft, I took the plunge into a coding bootcamp at UCI, emerging with a shiny certification in Full-Stack Engineering. I've got a knack for backend wizardry – there's just something about untangling complex problems that gets my adrenaline pumping.

Looking ahead, my sights are set on making a difference. I'm all about using my skills to create apps that bring a little more sunshine into people's lives. Whether it's joining forces with a crew of like-minded innovators or lending a hand wherever I'm needed, count me in.

So, there you have it – a glimpse into my journey so far. But hey, enough about me. I'd love to hear your story too. Let's swap tales and see where the road takes us.
