About me

My interest in software started when I took a computer science class. I’ve always been a gamer, and while I enjoyed the game, I was more interested in the code. After researching Turing, I decided to attend the backend engineering program. My preference for the backend is due to my love of data manipulation and logic creation. As a developer, I want to enable a smooth user experience by optimizing applications for speed and scalability. My goal is to contribute to a team with empathy, dedication, and collaboration that will ensure great products for consumers.
