more about me

My vision

I spent the beginning of my career working in the manufacturing industry with most of my time split between shipping and CNC machining. I came across a Python course taught by Dr. Angela Yu and it was off to the races. I have earned certificates in HTML, CSS, SQL, JavaScript, PHP, R, Python, Excel, and more.

I am currently finishing a Web Development bootcamp and preparing to start my third year of an IT degree at Wayne State University. Meanwhile I plan to further my software development skills by learning C#, as game development is something I am interested in. I am also planning to earn a Software Architect certificate with AWS.

Down the line I would like to further develop my skills, build my own game, and get into cybersecurity.

Hobbies

I love to play golf and am a spectator to virtually every sport. My dad took my brother and I to live sporting events all of the time growing up, and we were fortunate enough to be in attendance at all-star games, the Detroit Pistons 2004 championship run, and countless other memorable experiences.

A good friend of mine is a financial advisor, and he convinced me to start taking better care of my finances. Before long I was trading my own account, and eventually crossed over into cryptocurrency as well. It is the perfect convergence of tech and finance.

What Else You Should Know

I’m a father to a four-year-old boy, who loves cars and cartoons. I can’t wait until he is old enough to play videogames with me. I think it would be really cool to make a game that we can play together at some point.

For now, I am spending every waking minute building a strong foundation, so that I can be a contributor to the amazing technical revolution that continues to unfold before our very eyes (AI, VR/AR, blockchain, and so much more).
