Where it began

In middle school, my passion for coding began with integrating game APIs and developing plugins. I self-taught Java and C++, created desktop apps and websites, and grew my skills through a role as vice-president at Coders For Causes. My journey started with making minecraft server plugins that did silly things like giving players ~~absurd~~ magnificent, creative superpowers. This sparked my love for coding, which has only grown as I continue to advance in software development.
