profile

I am a soon to be graduate from Western Michigan with a B.S in Computer Science. I am looking for an opportunity to put what I have learned to the test. I am a hard worker and fully dedicate myself to whatever tasks I am working on. My greatest asset is my willingness to accept what I don't know and quickly learn it. There is nothing I enjoy more than learning new skills, so there is no role I won't try. Most of my development experience is in Python, C, C#, and Java. I also have experience in some front-end frameworks such as Bootstrap, VueJS, and Angular.
