About Me

I am passionate about technology and spend my free time on personal coding projects, gaming, reading, and exploring nature. I am particularly interested in technology such artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and healthcare devices, aspiring to innovate in this exciting field.

For those interested in my formal qualifications...

I graduated from the Cape Girardeau Career and Technology Center's computer technology program, focusing on networking and hardware. I obtained a Cisco Certified Network Associate certification in Routing and Switching immediately thereafter.

I pursued computer information systems and computer science studies at Southeast Missouri State University, where I served as a "Web Paraprofessional"—a role combining junior full stack development and IT support—while also leading the local ACM chapter as president for two years. My studies involved coding practices, languages, and group projects, detailed below. I earned a Bachelor's in General Studies with a minor in Computer Science.

I am currently employed as a full stack software engineer at Vizient Inc., a leader in providing performance improvement solutions to healthcare organizations.
