About Me

I love messing with code and working on projects with colleagues, constantly exploring new ways to solve problems and build cool things. I have had the opportunity to work with professors at the University of Texas at Tyler and it has been a great experience, and I'm eager to collaborate with other professionals to keep growing my skills.

I'm a huge sports fan, especially soccer, and I’m a passionate supporter of FC Barcelona. When I’m not coding, you’ll probably find me at the gym, playing soccer, table tennis, or pickleball. I also have a deep appreciation for music and enjoy listening to jazz, Afrobeat, reggae, and country.

I love exploring new things, staying curious, and always looking for ways to grow both personally and professionally. If you're into music, you can check out some of my playlists on Spotify! And if you're up for a soccer game, add me on the Plei app, and let's play together!
