Summary
A software developer with background in building personal web applications, mobile applications, and providing front-end support to open source projects. My value as an engineer is supported by not only my passion for learning and applying, analyzing knowledge in its many forms, but also in adapting to changing circumstances to engineer creative solutions for any situation. I place great pride in the energy with which I approach software engineering, which is evidenced by the projects that I have worked on in my personal time. My life has been one adventure after another, and I feel that I have and will continue to capitalize on every opportunity. From opening the door to the USA to pursuing a degree in mathematics while working with concepts in engineering and computer science, I will continue to push myself to achieve higher possibilities both in my professional and personal life.
