About Me

Software Engineer excited to learn new languages and build projects with like-minded programmers. I hope to draw on past experiences, in both operations and education to continue my progress and grow with a team.

For the past several months, I have immersed myself in programming languages and frameworks, working toward a career in an industry. With each project and endeavor, I am learning new skills to add to my toolbelt and what is most exciting is seeing myself progress in such a short time. Knowing there is a bottomless amount of material to learn is the industry's gift that keeps on giving, keeping me calm and coding on.
