Throughout my childhood, I had a knack for problem-solving and fixing things for the people around me. From computers to farm equipment, I did it all. This aptitude for solving mechanical problems, combined with my attention to detail and ability to keep track of complex systems, has led to making me the Software Engineer I am today.

Shortly after highschool, not finding any college opportunities, I found CodeStack Academy. CodeStack is an accelerated Software Engineering program by the San Joaquin County Office of Education. I went from minimal knowledge of programming to making full stack web apps in less than 10 months. Upon completion of the course, I received a Software Engineering Certificate signed by the San Joaquin county superintendent of schools. I am also proud to have been the youngest person to have graduated from CodeStack up to that point.

The year after CodeStack, I started classes for a degree in Electrical Engineering. Between classes I’d find myself coding websites configuring my raspberry pi web server, 3d printing, and doing Arduino and IOT projects. Due to recent circumstances, I have put a temporary pause on college and have been focusing more on developing my skills as a Web Developer.

Known for thinking outside the box, being a hard worker, honest, and clean-cut, I am confident in my ability to take on any challenge and deliver the best results possible. Overall, my problem solving abilities, technical mindset, and maintaining an attention to detail makes me a valuable addition to any team.
