I am a software developer based out of the New York metropolitan area. I work well within teams and I am dedicated to create software anybody can use.
I started learning to program in 2013 while I was in High School. From there I would spend my summers in various coding camps trying to learn all I could. When I graduated in 2016 I went to University at Buffalo majoring in computer science. During the 2019 semester I decided to try psychology and take a break from coding. After a few years I realized that I wanted to be a software developer. During 2021 enrolled to Erie Community College as a part time student and completed the advanced data structures course. Eager to get into the industry I decided to enroll at DevMountain's Java Software Engineering program. Here I was able to use my knowledge from my previous years coding and apply it to something that I felt was useful.
I love many different things about programming. Turning words on a screen into a complex program is a feeling that I find hard to describe. There is also no greater feeling than fixing a bug that made you lose sleep.
