🙋 About Me

I was introduced to programming when I started with Python in 2023. Since then I've been broadening my horizons, programming in Java, C, Lua/Luau, TypeScript, and React, although I'm still fairly new to the last two. I'm interested in anything comp sci, SWEN, QA, backend, and other related fields, and I'm always learning new tools.

• 🧩 I love building tools that make other developers' lives easier
• ✏️ I enjoy mentoring and helping new programmers learn fundamentals

⚡ Currently

• 🎓 CS undergrad @ RIT, focusing on backend, SWEN, and developer tooling
