Personal

With over 5 years of backend development experience, I've honed my technical skills and developed a keen eye for solving complex problems. Beyond code, I'm an avid adventurer at heart - from mountain biking and rock climbing to canoeing, if it gets the adrenaline pumping, I'm there. My love for travel and exploration drives me to seek out new experiences and landscapes, often spending free time camping in uncharted territories.

I'm an extrovert who thrives on social interactions, whether it's meeting new people, enjoying live music at bars, or just soaking in the vibrant energy of social gatherings. Married to my wonderful partner of over 7 years, we share a love for adventure, community, and making lasting memories together. My life is a blend of professional dedication and personal passion, always open to new experiences and connections.

Academic

Navigating through an extensive academic path, I've had the privilege of studying at multiple esteemed institutions, starting with the University of Texas at Arlington in Computer Science, followed by an enriching experience at Austin Community College where I earned my Associate's degree. My academic pursuit took me next to Texas State University, and eventually, the shift to online learning during the pandemic led me to Arizona State University. At ASU, I am part of the pioneering 4+1 degree program in Information Technology, a testament to my commitment to excel both in my undergraduate and graduate studies simultaneously.

Despite the transitions, each institution has contributed to my deep understanding of computer science, enabling me to develop benchmarking software for processors and write optimized code in C++ and Java. These achievements highlight not just my academic dedication but also my practical proficiency in leveraging computer science principles. Moreover, I have had a chance to attend a couple of software engineering and coding bootcamps where I got to learn how the IT and development is done in a real world scenario to solve real world problems.
