I'm a software developer based in the Chicagoland area with a strong passion for coding and problem solving. After earning my Associate's degree in Computer Science in 2020, I've focused my expertise on C++ and Python, while also gaining experience with JavaScript, Java, IBM Assembler, and others through various courses and projects. I'm currently pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science:Software Development and a Mobile Programming Certificate at Northern Illinois University supported by the Belong in STEM scholarship program with an expected graduation date of December 2024.

Before transitioning into tech, I had diverse careers as a professional poker player and as a touring musician and music educator. This unique background enriches my approach to development and allows me to tackle challenges from a fresh perspective and apply creative solutions. I thrive in collaborative environments, enjoy sharing knowledge with my peers, and am always eager to connect with others in the tech community!
