I am a software engineer with a passion for games, technology, and problem-solving.
About me
My interest in software development began when I was younger, creating simple scripts for an MMO. This passion for programming led me to develop mods for my favorite games, which ultimately inspired me to pursue a degree in Computer Science.
After graduating from college, I eagerly embarked on my career as a software engineer. What started as a hobby, writing scripts to automate in-game actions, has evolved into a fulfilling professional journey. Today, I am a full-stack developer, leveraging my skills to create comprehensive and efficient software solutions.
