About
I love building software. Period. To me, software development is the perfect blend of creativity and problem solving.
I fell in love with coding at 10 years old when my dad suggested my sister and I "go make a website" when we were looking for something to do.
I immediately became obsessed with the art of designing and developing websites, and it was my favorite hobby growing up. I decided at the age of 13 that I wanted to be a programmer, and I haven't looked back.
