Nice To Meet You!

I'm a Computer Science student at the California State University San Marcos graduating in Spring 2022. I enjoy learning about new technologies, more specifically about websites and applications. My goal is to develop new products that will create an impact on society.

I currently work as a Computer Science and Math tutor at CSU San Marcos. During my free time I like to work on personal projects, play piano, and participate in hackathons. I chose to pursue a career in Software Engineering during my Senior year of High School when I was exposed to the Python programming language.
