About Me

Professionally

Based in Fort Myers, Florida, I am currently a Senior at Florida Gulf Coast University, pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering. My professional journey has been enriched by diverse internships, including my role a Full Stack Developer Intern at AIM-HI. It has allowed me to design and optimize scalable web applications using React, Node.js, Express, and MongoDB, improving performance and user satisfaction. Through these experiences, I have developed a passion for backend development, which I continue to pursue with enthusiasm, focusing on creating efficient, secure, and user-friendly applications.

Personally

I got my first computer when I was seven, and that's where my love for technology began. I've always been fascinated by figuring out how things work and building my own projects. In high school, I even developed and published a game on the Google Play Store using Unity and C#. When I'm not coding, I love playing video games, hanging out with family and friends, and just relaxing. I'm also a big history nerd and have a keen interest in foreign architecture.
