I was five years old when my father first introduced me to the concept of building computers. Learning this at such a young age was eye
opening, as it exposed me to the concept of constructing useful and meaningful technologies. Over time, as I became more familiar with
computers, I realized I wanted to learn computer programming. After some deep soul searching, I decided to focus full time on a Web
Engineering career as a student at Dev Bootcamp. Now my time is spent challenging myself to soak up as much knowledge as I can. I'm
a problem seeker and solver, versatile on a team, and motivational to my colleagues.
