About Me
My journey in software development started in mid 2020 when I got accepted into Microverse, a YC-backed, global, online coding school. I left the program a world-class novice, with significant experience in remote collaboration. Ever since, I've continued to grow by working on a variety of projects.
By surrounding myself with some of the most intelligent, passionate, and hard working people in the field, I was able to learn an astonishing amount. I continue to apply the lessons, experiences, and values I've gained from startups, such as grit, agility, and having a growth mindset as I ceaselessly strive to become a great developer.
Aside from coding, I love learning, composing music, scuba diving, geeking out on manga/anime, and chilling with friends and family over a delicious meal.

Delved into the world of startups and founded a startup committed to making daily commute easier.

2019
Took a giant leap of faith - quit my second startup, and began my career shift into tech.

My Mentors
While being in an intensive program was crucial to my growth, I could only do so much alone. This is why I found brilliant and inspiring people who would mentor and guide me, not only in programming, but in matters relating to career and life as well.
