It all started at Texas A&M University when I first came across MatLab in my honors engineering class. I had always wanted to be a mechanical engineer, but seeing what seemed like magic happen had me completely converted to software engineering. I then left on my pilgrimage to learn everything I could at SFA.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege to work at several leading-edge companies like Microsoft and Charles Schwab, serving in various capacities as a mobile and full-stack software engineer. In all these projects, what filled me with a sense of achievement was the profound impact they had on millions of users - ensuring their experiences were secure and reliable, and giving people more time to spend with their loved ones.
In my free time, I try to learn new things every day, lately that's been trying to keep up ML and leveling up front end skills. Otherwise, I'm hanging out with my girlfriend and our three cats, or dabbling in entrepreneurship.
