About me

After serving in the Military for 6 years I managed to finally follow my dreams of finishing school for Software Engineering.

The road to success has been long, with countless hours studying while stuck on 24 hour duty, after all if I'm being forced to stay awake for 24 hours straight why not spend that time moving closer to my goal?

I learned a lot during those lonely nightly where I can feel myself getting so tired that I start hallucinating.

For example, I learned how far I can push my limits: If I can develop a process of writing code that can help work through problems while I'm halfway losing my mind, then imagine how much more efficient I can be with 8 hours of rest.

I learned how to take my time and make sure that my data types are exactly what I've been expecting when I pass data through parameters.

I worked on making sure I knew what a parameter was called by book definition so I can talk like an engineer.
