My journey in programming began at 13, sparked by a love for game development. I started with C++ (a bold choice, even for the time), then moved on to C# for the Unity Engine. Although I enrolled in a Computer Science program at Florida Polytechnic University, I left one year before completion due to difficult financial issues within my family. Shortly after and in response to changes in the game development industry, I learned Javascript and TypeScript, which led me into software engineering.
Currently, I am a Software Engineer at Lightcast on the Phantom Team (working on the new AI project, Ask Lightcast), where I explore and create new possibilities with AI. I am laser-focused on creating reliable software and am a massive proponent of almost all kinds of software testing.
Outside of work, I enjoy traveling and have visited over 15 states. Some of my favorite places include the Parthenon in Nashville, TN, the Savannah River Rapids Park in Augusta, GA and, as an amusement park enthusiast, Carowinds in Charlotte, NC!
