Junior Developer, Retail Clerk

Summary

Aspiring Junior Developer eager to tackle challenges and continuously learn. I use JavaScript, HTML, and CSS to create web games, particle systems, and web pages. With a foundational understanding of C#, I’m excited to work more with it, especially for game engines like Godot and Unity and the .NET ecosystem.

In my free time, I develop games and automate tasks, improving my programming and problem-solving skills. I've created scripts to streamline tasks, such as backorder cleaning at a bookstore and greeting new visitors on a reservation site using Selenium. I'm self-learning through Udemy, LinkedIn Learning, and Coursera, always seeking new knowledge.

I believe all programming languages are tools to solve problems or create something useful, and I’m ready to dive in and learn at an accelerated pace if needed. Additionally, I'm exploring how my interest in music theory and pattern recognition might enhance my problem-solving abilities, as I find potential connections between these disciplines fascinating.

I’m enthusiastic about joining a team where I can contribute and grow, both professionally and personally, understanding that growth takes time and effort.
