About Me

I (he/him) am an Arizona based programmer and have been programming since around age 7 when I started creating flash games to upload onto NewGrounds.com. Before that, I was playing online games like Pirates of the Caribbean Online and Last Chaos.

When I turned 14, I started creating MySpace themes for my friends and family by learning HTML and CSS. That led me into creating websites for my friends and family's businesses. At age 18, I got contracted to create a website for a local politician who was running for office at the time.

At age 18, I started to learn C# and how to create games inside of Unity. At that time, I also began learning PHP and JavaScript to build more interactive websites and applications. During my learning period, I got the chance to build my first store page for a local bakery company.

In 2019, I enrolled to Bloom Institute of Technology (formerly Lambda School) to study Data Science, which included Python, predictive analysis, and machine learning. During that time, I was hired as a team lead which further helped me develop my Python and team building skills.

In March 2024, I graduated from Full Sail University with my BS in Game Development. There, I learned Unreal Engine, C++ and refined my C# skills as well as Unity.
