About me

I've been passionate about using computers ever since I was introduced to them at young age! I have always been into gaming and would try to learn as much as possible about the computer games I played. This helped me learn how to use the internet to educate myself.

I hadn't listened to many hip/hop songs when I was younger so when I discovered it through the internet I became obsessed and it quickly became my favorite genre. I didn't really have an understanding of how the music was made, until I saw one of my favorite songs get broken down by the producer in a youtube video using a DAW. I Instantly downloaded the same DAW because I thought it would be cool to try and there was a free demo, and I quickly fell in love with audio production and engineering! This was my focus until I decide to make a career change and enroll in the Turing backend program.

Today, I use the skills of curiosity and love of technology in all forms as a BE developer. I love working with applications, languages and tools. I am passionate building, developing and pairing on projects!
