PERSONAL PROFILE
Whether I’m assembling a computer or developing a project, the
drive to build and create is always present. To do those things properly, you can’t hit the autopilot button; you have to stay present, constantly learn, and apply the information directly. When I code, I challenge myself to create what I see in my head and build it with the customers’ convenience in mind. An ongoing passion project of mine is building a new computer. My goal is to create a tool that, in addition to the skills learned at NewForce, will enhance my ability to code, making me a better developer. I’m eager to join a company where I can put my passions to work while always learning more.
