About

Leet software developer, artistic web designer, skillful handyman, and passionate musician. I earned my Computer Science and Information Systems masters degree from Saginaw Valley State University and an Industrial and Operations Engineering degree for my ungraduate study at the University of Michigan. An organized and quick learner, I am able to adapt and push the barriers with my DIY attitude. I have many portfolio projects, all a conglomeration of handyman remodeling work, software projects, and websites that I have created and maintained.

Software Developer, Web Developer, Handyman, & Musician

Currently seeking a position in software development to further pursue a career related to Computer Science

I am a gamer at heart. Also a nerd. But those things don't make me unrealistic of course. I live up to all my past and responsibilities and can say that I have accomplished so much in my life already. I have learned skills that I have never dreamed of learning.

Coding, drywalling, painting, playing Chopin's most beautiful Ballades, and creating amazing webpages, I feel like I still have so much more to learn.
