About Me
Coding is my passion! I have been coding for 8 years in academic, commercial, and independent landscapes. I am always looking to expand my knowledge and discover new ways to solve problems. With a foundation of C/C++, it has been easy for me to learn and understand a wide variety of programming languages. Recently, I have been having a lot of fun creating projects with C#, React, and Python.
