My interest in software development was sparked at a young age when I had a desire to learn the mechanics of how the video games I was playing were built, that fascination with wanting to know how things were built led me to pursue a degree in Software.
I am a hard worker with a passion to never stop learning and a desire to be a part of an energetic team building exciting software. I have used my skills to help place 50+ students in software development positions, and encouraged many to share my passion in programming. I have worked on several teams developing websites using a handful of different techniques and technologies and will continue to strive to build even more while working on exciting new projects.
