about

Transferred into the Computer Science + Philosophy Program at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign from the local community college. Felt like a late start, but I am determined to take as many opportunities as I can with the short time to adjust. I am a passionate learner about why and how certain systems and skills are used, and how I can incorporate it into my work and bring value to myself and the people around me.

I have foundational knowledge in the object-oriented languages Python and C++, and basic front-end website development groundwork in HTML and CSS.

The philosophy comes in to help me break down large, abstract, and complicated concepts into digestible foundational and practical ideas to then, be able to communicate these ideas and help paint a big picture. It helps me get everyone on the same page, and divide roles and tasks to take on individually and methodically.

As I am interested in Game Development, there are lots of fields to cover like visual design, communicating and teaching, and hardware and software engineering, which doesn't even touch the philosophy and art half of game development. There is always something to learn that can be applied to this career, so I will ambitiously chase and learn any learning opportunity presented to me. Full-stack, UI/UX, software engineering all interests me.
