Summary

Versatile and dynamic, with a background in the US Army as a Combat Engineer and retail experience at Zumiez, I excel in heavy equipment operation and building customer relationships. Skilled in Python and tactical communications, I adeptly blend technical prowess with interpersonal skills to drive project success and enhance team efficiency. With my love for the Japanese culture, I have been studying the language for three years and I am currently pursing a minor degree in Japanese in hopes of traveling there someday.

Skateboarding, Gaming content creator on YouTube and Twitch

Among other things, I am a skateboarder. I found love in the sport because of how liberating and challenging it is. 

The love for computers and programming came from gaming. It is a goal of mine to be part of a team that create games for people and one day to create my own game.
