I am a full stack developer who loves working on awesome projects with amazing people that have a big impact on the lives of others.
I co-founded randomuser.me and am currently working on a new endeavor called randomapi.com that I hope to launch soon.
I started programming back in middle school with PHP and MySQL making small projects and also hosting a small website and forum for my classmates and friends. Later on in high school, I took some Java courses and grew an interest into Linux and security as well as expanding my knowledge with CSS3 and HTML5.
While I was enrolled in college, I gained experience with C/C++ but I was hungry for more and wanted to learn the latest web technologies like Node.js. I enrolled in Hack Reactor where I spent 3 months coding 6 days a week/11 hours a day in an immersive environment with some of the smartest developers I've ever met! I played around with frameworks such as Angular, Backbone, and React and I quenched my thirst for Node.js through the many projects my team and I worked on.
I love the challenge of coming up with solutions to solve complicated problems and the freedom of being able to create anything you want through programs.
