About Me

8 Years Experience

I have been programming since I was 9 years old, starting with scripts like Python account managers and voice assistants. Since I first fell in love with programming, I like to think I have somewhat improved. I have developed all sorts of products from Discord bots to machine learning models, mobile apps to websites, and smart water meters to social media platforms. I hope to pursue a university degree in Computer Science.
