Intro
My entry to the world of computers begin at a young age when I built my own personal computer at just ten.
In the beginning, the purpose was just to be able to play video games with my cousins.
But after just playing a few hours of video games, I was fascinated by the design and complexity of how video games even work.
Ever since then, I have always been passionate about computers
and the software that runs them.
I graduated from Texas State University with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with a minor in
Mathematics. I have been exposed to many different coding languages. I am fluent in C++, Java, JavaScript,
Python, HTML and GO. Exposed to SQL and Rust. I am eager to learn new technologies and languages so I can
continue to grow my skills and knowledge.
