Welcome to my online portfolio

I am a Software Engineer in-training from Irvine, CA and am on track to graduate in March 2017 with a B.S. in Software Engineering. If your company is looking for a Jr. Programmer/Intern that has an inherent passion for problem-solving that has been fostered through a science background please contact me. (Science, you say?

About Me

I have always loved computers. Naturally when the time came to begin my college career, my intention was to become a computer science major. However the dotcom burst of 2000 still fresh in the minds of many led me to pursue something else I was interested in: biology.

I graduated UC Davis with a B.S. in Microbiology, and a minor in Evolution, Ecology, & Biodiversity. Then I was accepted at UC Irvine for grad school, where I focused on Biochemistry, and obtained my Master’s degree for my 3 years of scientific contributions. However about a year before I graduated, my interest in computer science began surfacing. I found myself continually tinkering with software that controlled lab experiments I was working on. Then, writing scripts to optimize lab equipment in.

After doing some heavy soul-searching, I made the decision to complete my masters and concurrently begin taking courses to earn a second bachelor's degree in software engineering. This path I have taken is certainly unconventional. However, the experiences along the way have shaped me to become a highly goal-driven individual that has an insatiable thirst for knowledge.

When I am not working on code, I enjoy spending my time playing games on Steam and catching up on the latest tech developments.
