About Me

I am a computer science student focused on growing my skills through hands-on projects and practical experience. I enjoy turning ideas into functional work, breaking down problems, and learning more about the systems behind the technology we use every day.

My interest in technology started young from watching my brother build computers, and that curiosity grew when I got my first computer around age 12. While I am still early in my journey, I am committed to learning, improving, and continuing to grow as a developer.
