About Me

(in 545 words)

Intro

With a background in Computer Science and a minor in Management Information Systems from Belmont University, I have hands-on experience developing technical solutions using languages such as Java, Python, SQL, React, and more. I am committed to delivering innovative, results-driven solutions and continuously expanding my skills to stay ahead of emerging technologies. Outside of work, I enjoy staying active at the gym, skiing, and scuba diving.

Some Personal Milestones

  • Programming Beginnings: At 12, I started exploring programming with basic WordPress and Drupal installations. This introduced me to the world of web development and sparked my interest in HTML and CSS. Over the years, I’ve evolved from simple websites to more complex web-based applications and development tools.
  • AutoCAD & Revit: In 2012, I began learning AutoCAD, which opened my eyes to the world of architectural design. As my skills progressed, I expanded into Autodesk Revit for more complex 3D renderings, and now, I’m able to create detailed, realistic architectural models and designs.
  • Freelancing Journey: In 2014, I began my freelance career with oDesk (now Upwork), initially working on small web-based projects. As my experience grew, I gained expertise in server-side scripting, databases, and full-stack development, which led to opportunities with both Upwork and Freelancer. Freelancing gave me the chance to work on a wide variety of projects and expand my technical skills.
  • Aeronautics Passion: My fascination with aeronautics started at a young age, and I’ve been building large remote-controlled composite aircraft, including jet-powered models that run on jet fuel. I began constructing planes at 8, and by 13, I was working at one of Nashville's first RC hobby stores, where I learned about the electrical systems and components that power remote-controlled aircraft. To this day, I still design and build these planes, constantly improving my understanding of aerodynamics and engineering.
