About Me

Who I Am

I'm a dedicated Software Engineering student at Cincinnati State Technical and Community College, combining academic excellence with over 10 years of real-world technical expertise and 15+ years of programming in Python, my strongest language.

Python is where I started and where I do my best work: from command-line tools to a cross-platform desktop, Android and web app. With a strong foundation in multiple other languages and frameworks as well, I specialize in creating efficient, scalable solutions. My hands-on experience as a PC Repair Technician has given me deep insights into hardware-software integration and troubleshooting complex technical issues.

I'm committed to continuous learning and staying current with emerging technologies. Whether it's developing command-line systems in Linux, designing databases, or building Full Stack Applications, I approach each challenge with enthusiasm, dedication, and certainty in my skills set.

I'm also fully bilingual in English and Spanish, which lets me communicate with, support, and build for a wider range of teams and users.
