About me
My interest in programming started in high school when I had the opportunity to have full creative control over the school's website. I then found Turing School of Software and Design which honed my skills and taught me many new and important concepts about front end development. Through my experiences at Turing, I landed an apprenticeship with Sutter Hill Ventures where I took my knowledge and applied it to TypeScript and Next.js to create and learn some fun things.
During my time at Sutter Hill, I was experiencing intestinal issues which turned out to be Crohn's Disease. After some hardships mentally and physically, I am ready to be back in the tech industry and show everyone what I've got!!
