I'm a detail-oriented developer finishing up my associate's in software development in La Crosse, Wisconsin. I specialize in full stack development using a variety of technologies, but I'm always looking to expand my horizons into other fields and figure out what new technologies I can use to build even better projects.
I currently live in Wisconsin, but I grew up in Minnesota, where I got my first degree in English Linguistics from Saint Cloud State University, where I learned about a great many things, including speech signal processing and speech synthesis using MATLAB and Python. Later I moved to Wisconsin and decided to go back to school for software development and I've been having a lot of fun doing it. I'm expecting to graduate around April of 2026, and from there I hope to start a challenging and rewarding career in development.
I've learned many programming skills and acquired several proficiencies while studying both for coursework and independently. I am knowledgable in full stack web development using technologies like ASP.NET, Entity Framework Core, React.js, and Express.js. I've enjoyed building out APIs the most, and I have the most experience doing so with ASP.NET but I have built out full backends with Node.js as well.
Time allowing, I would like to work on data simulations using Python. I also want to become more familiar with C/C++ and trying my hand at some more performance intensive programs. It has also been a goal of mine to become proficient in COBOL and explore the limits of what is possible using it. I am also interested in working on an independent game with some of my friends who specialize in other areas like art and music.
