I like building things
During my time in university, I've won 2 hackathons. 😎

SacHacks V
Davis, California
Sachacks V is an IBM sponsored hackathon with over 200 participants. I worked with a team of 3 other developers to build HackerMatch, a platform that makes it easier for people to find a team that matches their skill set and experience. - O

Evolution over time
A look back at how my portfolio has evolved throughout the years. As you can probably tell, I wasn't exactly born as a great programmer. 😅
Age of College
This is when I started actually started building things that were more than just tutorial projects and I got decently competent at programming. I didn't feel like building another portfolio tho so I ripped the HTML from a template on a website builder called Grapedrop and modified it to my own liking. It was an obfuscated mess and a headache to update so I decided to build another one with a more modern stack using the skills that I've gained from my personal projects which is the portfolio ur viewing rn!
Age of YouTube
In late 2019, I did a major redesign of my portfolio website, recoding it from the ground up and updating it occasionaly through 2020 to shape the website into what I (imagined) looked good. I got pretty close, but when it came to iterating over this design, I realized that my style of coding was incredibly messy. This led to one thing breaking many other things and so much undefined behavior on different devices that I just gave up and planned a redesign in the future which is the one I created in 2020!
Age of Intro to CS class
My first real iteration of my portfolio website. It started as an assignment in my intro to computer science class and at the time the only tools I had access to was stack overflow for questions and codepen.io as my ide. I was pretty proud of it at the time but looking back on it, it looks really bad.
