Where I Started
There has been two defining traits about my Journey: curiousity and rampant creativity.
Born in 2005 within the Los Angeles County, I was interested in computers ever since I was a kid. It started out as just a want to create levels for New Super Mario Bros Wii, and later funneled into computer science.
Skillset.
I am currently a College of the Canyons Student studying Computer Science, while developing full software on the side. I also have a background in Video Production as well.
2005
I was born in Los Angeles County.
2010
My parents would bring home a Nintendo Wii. This console would be a introduction to what I would spend my adolescence being obsessed with.
2014
I would get my first computer for my 9th birthday. Despite being an old HP laptop, this did not stop me from trying to get into some new creative endevaours.
2015
Around 2015 is where I would purchase a Minecraft Server online. During this time, I ended up sinking hours into building out systems and games to play with my friends using Plug-ins and Minecraft Bukkit. This would be my first loose introduction into the world of Computer Science. I would end up getting into optimization of my server, as well as the processes of coding with JSON and Java. Although my server is no longer up, and I never pursued it with financial gain, I spent hours solely for fun and entertainment, and it just
2018
I would end up officially jumping into coding with a class called GameGen. This was an extracirricular class that taught how to build video games using the Construct 3 Engine, and would be my first introduction to Programming. All of those games and projects can be found right here. I would continue developing these games and building ideas until around 2021, when I took an interest in learning Unity.
2020
Although I took an interest in Video Creation and Production as early as 2017, I would officially learn and use Premiere Pro and Photoshop on my own.
2022
I would apply said Video Creation skills and interests by joining my high school (West Ranch High School)'s TV Production Team. During my time on the team, I would learn how to use After Effects, enhance my skills in Premiere Pro as well as Photoshop, and build real world skills, such as perfection, pre-production, and teamwork.
My team would end up placing 3rd in the nation during the 2023 STN Convention in Long Beach, in which I was a leader in editing and visual effects. We were the highest placing public school in the nation, and the teamwork me and my team showed to get that built a lot of skill in team-building and collaboration.

2023
In 2023 I would end up graduating from West Ranch High School. I was eager to start my college journey, and I would opt to go to my local community college named College of the Canyons. During this time, I started to learn Java in the class, and mastering JavaScript, React, React Native, NextJS, and even some python off campus.
2024
I would start my journey with an internship with MESA at College of the Canyons, as a software engineer as well as a educator. During this time, I started working on my MESA Connect and MESA Mobile projects.
