Who am I?
I'm originally from Des Moines, Iowa, where my journey into technology began with setting up and hosting a Minecraft server back in 2014. This experience sparked my passion for the technical side of computers, including programming and networking. Since then, I've been dedicated to expanding my skills in these areas.
I recently earned my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from the University of Colorado Boulder. My enthusiasm for technology drives me to continuously explore and master new fields, including web development, mobile development, and game development. I'm always eager to embrace new challenges and opportunities that help me grow as a developer and a person.
What do I do?
Currently, I'm building tools to automate and simplify business tasks at Midwest Wheel. In my free time, I'm engaged in several projects to broaden my knowledge and experience. One of these is a web app that provides users with drink recipes based on the ingredients they have at home. I'm always on the lookout for new projects and technologies to explore.
What are my core values?
I value things such as continuous learning, collaboration, and adaptability. Recently, creativity has become a central value for me. In today's fast-paced digital world, it's easy to get caught up in the convenience of technology and social media. I believe it's crucial to maintain our ability to generate original ideas and think independently. By prioritizing creativity, I strive to balance technological advancements with thoughtful, innovative thinking.
What are my goals?
I've read somewhere that it's bad to share your goals with others, but here are some general ones:
- Keep it simple. This is especially true for my UI design. I believe the best sites to use are the ones that look like they haven't been updated since 2010 (e.g., Wikipedia, Berkshire Hathaway,
reddit). They're simple, but most importantly, they're fast. - I always thought it would be cool to work for the NSA.
What do I like?
Music (live shows, guitar), coding, golf, traveling, cars, fishing, video games (racing games, League of Legends), chess, and... boats.
What don't I like?
TikTok vocabulary, League of Legends
