About me

While studying for my degree in Computer Science, I decided to pursue my passion for programming. I bought a course on Udemy and learned web development. My favorite part of programming is the problem-solving aspect. I love the feeling of finally figuring out a solution to a problem. The first web development stack I tried was React, Express, Node.js, and MongoDB but the crazy part was the job I ended up with was Wordpress. I am also familiar with TypeScript and I am always looking to learn new technologies. I am currently looking for a full-time position as a web developer.

When I'm not coding, I enjoy playing video games, watching movies, and playing with my dog. I also enjoy learning new things. I am currently learning about philosophy and general parenting stuff because I'm soon to be a father of a beautiful girl. I'm also a singer for a band called GirlKissers.
