About Me
I am a full stack software engineer and developer who has been creating websites,
programming, and
making
ideas come to life since age 9. As a kid, I had always been intrigued by computers and the technology that
drives them. Since then, I have gained plenty of experience in software development and computing ranging
across many different programming
languages for both personal and business applications.
Outside of software development, I enjoy spending my free time with cooking, working out,
investing,
traveling, building computers, playing games, astrophotography, and learning new skills.
