About Me

I was born October 5th, 2004, in Santa Cruz, California. Growing up, I loved everything from reading and playing music, to youth sports and junior lifeguards. I developed a passion for technology and physics while reading classic science fiction such as Asimov, Heinlein, Gibson, and Vonnegut.

My interest in video games growing up focused my curiosity on the programming behind the graphics. Building my own computer in middle school sparked my interest in computer hardware. I've always loved playing music, and high school I was valedictorian and a leading member in the jazz and marching bands. I played baritone saxophone in the California All-State Jazz Band and led my underclassmen in Carnegie Hall. The summer after junior year, I started teaching myself to program and I haven't stopped since.

Now in college, I focus on my classes, and practice my saxophone everyday. I'm currently learning to program web applications using ASP.NET core and to host them using AWS EC2 and IIS. I usually relax by indulging in historical video games with my friends, such as Hell Let Loose, or enjoying a great book.
