Programming accidentally fell in my lap. My highschool had a program where core classes integrated with tech and meant we all had to buy laptops. One day when I was having typically laptop issues and found that our school's tech support was student run, including the website. I happen to know the lead developer for the website and was asked to join.

I quickly picked up on web development and rose through the internal raking system. I soon was building in my spare time and even landed a job with a local advertising company. At this point I was working with PHP, HTML, JS, and CSS.

My college major was a hard choice between Game Development and Web Development. I stuck with the safety of web development, which lead me learn C#. Learning C# was the first step on my journey to becoming a full stack developer.

I has been a amazing ride and love each new challenge it was put in front of me.
