I love software development, especially with user-focused design. Whether it is a web service, a mobile app, or a video game, it is always important to keep the end-user in mind. This leads to good code and to great products. 

I have a strong background in C++ and Object Oriented Programming, but I have transitioned towards full stack web development.
