Skills
I've been coding for most of my life and have explored many areas of software development. Below is a sampling of the languages, libraries, and other tools I have worked with in the last 5 years or so.
Webdev
I fell in love with the web as a means of creative expression long ago and haven't stopped building for it since. It's where I'm most fluent and have the most professional experience. Whether crafting a user interface or a database query, I feel at home working on any part of the stack.
Frontend
- HTML
- CSS/SASS
- JavaScript/TypeScript
- React
Backend
- SQL
- Mongo
- Express
- Django
Software Development
CLI, GUI, server, embedded—if the problem can be solved by a CPU, I can probably make it happen. I have worked with most major languages and have a solid grasp on data structures, algorithms, design patterns, and development methodologies.
- C++
- Rust
- C#
- Java
- Python
Graphics & Design
I have a strong aesthetic sense and care deeply that my work is beautiful as well as functional. I studied 3D graphics at CSU Sacramento, and as an instructor at Hackingtons I helped students bring their game ideas to life in Unity.
- OpenGL
- GLSL
- Unity
- Photoshop
- Inkscape
About Me
I hail from the remote and beautiful north coast of California. A computer enthusiast and gamer from a young age, I started programming at 12 when I taught myself C++ with the help of the internet. Soon thereafter, I expanded into web development. I spent much of my adolescence tinkering on text adventures, websites, and other projects as well as operating a WAMP server on my home computer.
Over the years, I have worked as a freelance web developer and as an instructor at Hackingtons, a company that offers extracurricular coding classes for children. In December 2021, I graduated summa cum laude from CSU Sacramento with a BSc in Computer Science. I couldn't be more excited for the next chapter of my career.
I currently reside in the lovely town of Corvallis, OR. Aside from programming, I spend my time exploring nature, playing and writing music, cooking, gaming, reading, taking photos, and learning languages.
