About Me

Thank you for checking out my Portfolio

Hi, I am a current student at Adams State University, studying Computer Science, graduating in December 2025.

I discovered my passion for coding during my junior year of high school when I took a basic HTML class. The ability to bring ideas to life through code instantly captivated me. Building an application is one thing, but making it scalable and reliable is what truly matters. I love creating applications and seeing them evolve into products supporting customer needs. But I don't stop there, I think about security too! We live in a world where technology is advancing rapidly, and with that comes security challenges. As a developer, I ask myself: How can I build applications that scale and protect the people using them? I want users to feel confident and secure while interacting with the products I create. Last but not least, I'm passionate about cloud, AI and the beauty of continuous research. During my free time, I love to play instruments like the piano, make music tracks and read books.

Currently, I am working on personal full-stack projects while juggling school and prepping for entry into the job market.
