I've always loved making things, but it wasn't until my mom bought me a VisualBasic programming book that I knew I wanted to become a Software Engineer. At 12 years old, I blew through that over 700 page book in a couple weeks, and quickly began programming my own games and programs using the skills I had learned. From there I delved into Unity3D. I used C# to make a 2D Platformer, a Tower Defense game, and more.
Fast forward to high school, I began learning Python, Dart, HTML, CSS, Python, and really any programming language I could find tutorials for on YouTube. I've probably watched thousands of hours of programming videos and tutorials. I love learning new things, using different languages, and really anything that involves technology.
My love for technology grew throughout high school, and that led me to pursue a degree in Computer Science at Liberty University. LU was the only school I applied for because I knew that's where I wanted to be. I really fell in love with the community and the school's mission to train champions for Christ. I'm currently a senior at Liberty University studying Computer Science. During my time at University, I have worked as a Computer Science Tutor, headed web development for the Mars Rover Competition Team, and participated in the International Collegiate Programming Competition (ICPC) as a member of Liberty's Computer Programming Competition Team. I am also involved in Liberty's Eagle Scholars Leadership Program, which helps students grow as leaders during their time in school and prepares them for leadership roles in the future.
In addition to my course work at school, I have also stayed busy working on personal projects as well. Some of these include a Spotify playlist generator written in Python, and Wordle solver with GUI written in C++ and Qt6, a DIY portable game console running on a Raspberry Pi with hundreds of retro games available to play, and much more. You can find a more complete list of my projects on the home page of this website, which I also coded from scratch using Next.JS, Sanity, and Tailwind.
