My Skills
I am the most proficient in Java and Python. I am also currently learning C++ and Swift. While it isn't a priority, I also know enough HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to maintain this website and add functionality.
In addition to coding, I also have sysadmin experience and sales experience. My time at Fry's and Apple has given me strong communication skills when it comes to technical concepts. Because of my business minor, I have business knowledge that I'm looking to match with experience.
Education
I studied at Texas A&M University under the Technology Management program in the College of Engineering and graduated in December 2024.
I also double minored in Business and Cybersecurity.
I was also on the 2023 Student Cluster Competition team for High Performance Computing.
