Where it began
During middle school, my passion for software development was sparked by web-integrating video game APIs and engineering video game plugins. Through self-learning and online resources, I gained proficiency in Java and C++, and created my first native desktop application and websites, fueling my passion for web development. Today, I have experience in full-stack development and project management through my role as vice-president of a not-for-profit software development organization, Coders For Causes, and my developer job. I am excited to continue my coding journey, making a positive impact with my skills. It all started with my fascination for Minecraft, where I discovered the creative possibilities of coding. Delving into self-learning, I mastered C++ and Java, and eventually coded my first Minecraft plugin that granted players superpowers. This moment ignited my passion for coding, and since then, I have continued to expand my skills and knowledge in the world of technology.
