Computers have always been my childhood passion. With computer science, I have been able to please my inner child by developing code, consulting those who are interested in and introduce computer science to young minorities. I am able to write in C#, Java, C++, and Python but I am driven to learn more.  I am always ready to jump on any opportunity that will let me showcase my computer science knowledge. When I am able to work in the field and contribute to projects, I am able to make my inner child proud.
