About me

An aspiring software developer with a mindset for growth and an eagerness for innovation and learning.

Interned at one of the best health insurance companies, Florida Blue, as a cloud engineer, to procure cloud and software development skills and also worked at the University of North Florida as a Help Desk Technician to develop IT and soft skills.

I believe that starting new and challenging projects is the key to learning and developing current skills; therefore, in my free time, I like to start working on a new project from the list of my side-project ideas.
My hobbies include coding, trading stocks, hiking, hanging out with my friends, and learning something new.
