About me

My interest in development started with creating game addons and maps for Garrys Mod. Learning Lua for game modding led me to taking software development courses in high school, then computer science in college. My passion for development really took off when I created tools for my coworkers while working at HP, and I decided to take a web development course at Boise CodeWorks.

I love my cat who I rescued off the street as a kitten, ping pong, video games, and science fiction.

I created custom content for an online gaming community called Chrono Gaming, which I owned and operated. I plan on recreating this server when the game S&Box comes out of alpha.

My front-end technologies include JavaScript, TypeScript, Svelte, Vue, Tailwind CSS, and Bootstrap.

My back-end technologies includes Node.js, Express, MongoDB, SQL, C#, and ASP.NET .
