Full Stack Software Engineer with focus on React, JavaScript, Ruby, and Ruby on Rails. Currently working on guiding students through the steps on becoming Software Engineers, managing multiple projects, aiding in debugging within said projects, and building out projects in React, TypeScript, .NET, and BootStrap.

In my spare time, I'm either doodling on pixel art, building a Gundam, or sleeping.
