I began my journey in Software Development during my time as an undergrad in computer science ,
I pursued Computer Science at first out of pure curiosity, until I realized I had a talent and
a love for it. which made me obessed with learning as much as I could to be the at the top of my
class.
As You can see my Tech Stack Is very large , I pride myself in learning as much as possible
as bordem is my biggest enemy.
I started Learning C++ as my First Programming Language in College, an extremely difficult
language to
learn as a beginner. I began to learn C and Assembly Language x86 32 & 64 bit in my
Assembly Programming class in college where I took huge dive into memory programming and
computer
architecture. Ive also picked up Arudino Programming in an Electronics Hacking Class and Andriod
Development at CUNY held Hackathons
I decided over the summer breaks during college
to learn new technologies which I learned both Python and Java building my first real
application outside
of class a messaging app using websockets to communicate between two computers on a local
network. And one summer i became involved
with game development and help contribute to local community projects hosted on ModDB.com This
also began a multi year long project developing my own
game engine and graphics render which in turn resulted in
becoming my capstone project during this time I learned a large amount of the opengl Libraries
for C++ and Java while also learning the basics of Unity and
Unreal Engine using C# and C++.
My love for continous learning and helping others learn resulted me in attaining a job as a
Computer Science and Mathematics Tutor at
the Math Learning Center at CUNY York College there i would be exposed to topics and
technologies being covered in a variety of other classes
this is where i learned C#, Crystal, Javascript, and Ruby.
Ive interned at the Department of Defense to work on Autonomous Drones and path finding
algorithms here i refined more of my understanding of C++, Python, Algorithms & Data structures,
and learning new Technologies such
as CNN Neural Networks, A.I. Computer Hardware, ROS (Robotic operating software) and Matlab.
I began to learn Fullstack Tech when I was at CUNY Tech Prep which is a fullstack program
for CUNY students in computer science to learn in demand technologies for fullstack development
roles. Here I refined and picked up new skills in JavaScript, React.js, Node.js, Sequelize.js,
Express.js, Postgresql, CSS, HTML, and Bootstrap 4
I worked as an Associative Software Developer for
a few months after college, learning Java, Spring Boot and Spring Framework, Angular.js,
TypeScript, SQL
I attended App Academy to finally gain a full understanding of Fullstack Development, here i
relearned
JavaScript, Ruby, HTML, CSS, React.js, Node.js, Express.js, Postgresql, & SQL. While also
picking up new skills such as learning the MERN Stack
Mongoose, AWS, Heroku, Redux, Ruby on Rails, MongoDB, Git, SASS, Babel, Webpack, Ajax, Axios and
jQuery.
After both graduating college and App Academy I realized that Im not just a software engineer,
Im a Computer Scientisi at heart and learning is what
interests me the most and see what I learn being put to the test to build some amazing things
people can use , pushes me on further venture into the unknown.
My favorite language is C++
I love its speed, Performance and the complete control it gives you of the machine.
It does not hold your hand and demands careful decision making as it gives you all the power and
control of your data you must handle it with care,
I see it as a challenges worth pursuing.
JavaScript is my second favorite, it has grown on me alot throughout my time at App Academy, I
never liked it do to its many quirks. But it has grown on my significantly these
past few months as I built some of the biggest projects I have done in a long time using it.
I am currently relearning Python and C++ and reviewing algorithms and data structures again ,
taking sometime to revist my
roots and my feed my hunger to learn more comp sci theory and solve complex problems. I am also
still working on my Fullstack
project $TR!F3 creating and working on its api to fully incorportate all the features of
Discord. Maybe ill make a desktop version one day :P
Please reach out if you would like to talk some more or collaborate on a project!
