About Me
Who am i?
I am a person of many ambitions who likes a good challenge and is constantly innovating ways to help transform the lives of others. For this reason, I worked with 4 local nonprofits to provide them with the IT solutions they need. Furthermore, I dedicated my services to 3+ small and family-owned businesses delivering stunning designs at little to no cost.
From the moment I enrolled within my first internship course, I knew this was the career path for me. I have always been intrigued by how software can be utilized to solve practical problems and produce beautiful graphics. No two projects are the same, which makes programming and graphic design more fascinating. I believe by sharing the IT knowledge and design skills I have obtained, I can bridge the gap between the world and technological possibilities.
Apart from my professional career, I have also gained experience working on in-class and personal projects. I love acquiring new skills and I’m always finding ways to enrich my portfolio. Not only do I have a passion for software development and graphic design, I also find joy in writing fictional stories and baking. As of today, I am currently working on an unofficial project to redesign an old friend’s barbershop business card.
