I like to turn designs into applications. From database design to full-stack development, I'm just here to make cool stuff.

Who, Me?

I graduated from

UC Santa Barbara

in

2018

with a Bachelors in Financial Mathematics and Statistics. Even the school wasn't sure what it was given that it stopped being offered during my time there, but I did get to take some

programming

and

data science courses

that put me on this path.
I fell in love with programming after automating various job functions as a

Data Analyst

primarily using

Python

. It was making scripts to process data and the like but I wanted to create complete applications, from the interface to the functionality. I enjoy creating

full stack

web applications using

PostgreSQL, MySQL, Laravel, Node.js, Vue.js, React.js, and Angular 2.

Projects

  • Smartguard
