about me

I was born and raised in Queens, New York City. As a high school student, I went to the Baccalaureate School of Global Education located in Astoria, NY. After graduating, I enrolled into Stony Brook University and moved into a dorm in Long Island. Two years later, I moved down to Florida with my family and have been specializing myself in the field I want to be in.

At the age of six I discovered a passion for technology through video games. I was fascinated by the possibilities along with the ability to have almost any answer through a simple search. As I became more comfortable typing, I learned how to use search engines such as Ask.com and Google. Within a few years, I became the go-to techie within my household. Before I was ten years old, I was able to make my first freelance sale: fixing a neighbor’s ransomware riddle computer in exchange for a delicious home-baked apple pie. During my time in middle school student, I began messing around with web development tools, graphics design, 2D and 3D animation, and video editing.

As I learned more about a certain software or language, I realized my knowledge transfers over to various other fields and as I kept researching, it became easier. With the permission of my parents, I began freelance work through platforms such as Fiverr in addition to marketing through various online communities and began earning my own money.
During my time in high school, I was very active when it came to extracurricular activities. As a member of various clubs, committees, and organizations I was able to accrue well over three hundred community and service hours.

professional highlights

Campus Residences IT Programming Team (Fall 2021 to Spring 2022)

Created a Reactjs front-end and assisted with connecting the back-end to an on-campus server that sends the status and supply levels of every printer on campus every few minutes.
Was also trained to maintain and work on a webapp that displays the status of all residential TV-billboard computers on campus.

Both of these webapps were deployed on campus and are used by faculty and student technicians.

CodePath iOS Mobile Development (Summer to Spring 2021)

I learned to create iOS applications using Swift and the SwiftUI kit on XCode. On our last project, I worked with a team to create a Tip Calculator application using Github.
Awarded honors certificate for outstanding achievement

Freelance Work (Started in 2018)

Through online communities and virtual marketplaces, I offered freelance services in the scripting, graphics design, and web development industries.
Through networks such as my friends and community servers on Discord, I was able to design logos, web pages, sites, configure servers and web panels, along with code scripts for video game community servers.

Retail Experience (Summer of 2019)

Worked at a hardware store where I was a cashier and did inventory management. I was responsible for ensuring that customers had smooth transactions and providing a pleasant customer service experience. I aided customers in locating products as the store was pretty larger and confusing. On top of this, I would restock merchandise and ensured that the area was kept tidy.
