A Bit About Myself

I was born on December 1, 1999 in Saint Paul, Minnesota, and have lived in the Twin Cities area ever since. Born to an American dad, who has been a baker all of his life, and a Mexican mom, who clawed her way to becoming a Registered Nurse, I grew up with two different languages and two different cultures. I did well in school, and was able to enter PSEO (Post Secondary Enrollment Options) for 11th and 12th grade. After completing generals for one year, I set my heart on becoming a programmer, encouraged by a mentor of mine. I began learning the basics of Web Development, and started taking classes at a different college just a year later.

My Start with Coding

If I told you my relative skill with computers initially came from a love for coding, I would be lying. The reality of it is that video-games are what initially drew me to computers. A steady stream of video-gaming led me to have a good deal more knowledge about computers then either of my parents. While the idea of making a living off of programming had crossed my mind, I had never truly considered it as a viable option. It was in my early teens when someone, who would go on to be a teacher and mentor of mine, began to show me how to code. I proved a good learner, and a relatively skilled coder. With practice, I got a solid foothold in the ways of website development. Now with that as my major, this website is for all to see my progress.

My Ambitions for the Future

After starting to take programming, I have found out that the world of programming, even when narrowed down to web development, is massive. Though I have many front-end essentials down, I am well aware that I am far from a full-fledged developer. I will need to adjust myself to a working climate I have not experienced terribly often, and add even more to my skill set. However, I am motivated to learn and grow as a developer, and my work ethic follows that motivation. I aspire to be a Full-stack developer, and I will work my way to it one way or another.

What I bring to your Workplace

Though I cannot bring much experience right now, what I can bring is my eagerness to learn, improve, and master my craft. I am a pretty fast learner, and will do my absolute best to contribute significantly to the team and our projects, even if it means feeling overwhelmed at times. I do well in following the instructions of my seniors and peers. In essence, I can offer you only my word that I work hard and earnestly to make a positive difference in my work environment.
