About Me
I'm a current software engineer and recent grad from UTSA. I have a serious passion for software engineering and any project that requires it. I'm currently interested in full-stack development, but I'm always open to learning new things.
Well-organized, problem solver, with high attention to detail. Fan of tennis, outdoor activities, 3D printing, amateur film photography, and sometimes (sometimes) reading. Oh. And music. Currently in love with Durry.
