Software Engineer/Developer

Hi!

Here's who I am & what I do

Welcome to my about me page. I am a first-generation software engineer and developer, born and raised in the Bay Area (a.k.a. the "Yay Area"). I'm a coffee addict, a photographer, and a car enthusiast. I started off working as a technician at BMW of Concord, wrenching on vehicles, having a blast getting experience and making connections with all my colleagues. I did not want to stop there, and I decided to go down my next path after leaving BMW to pursue my career as a Software Developer and Engineer .

The tech industry holds a lot of potential and offers a variety of projects and products that can be created, which is its beauty. Every day, we learn something new about the industry, which fuels my passion and demonstrates how quickly the industry is evolving. Let's get to coding and get in touch. My first love/language that I learned was C++. Current languages learned: C++, Swift, Python, HTML, and CSS.
