🏢I had my first run-in with software development in my senior year of high school; a computer mathematical equations class that focused on Python to interpret data. During class, in all honesty, I didn't enjoy coding. It was too verbose for my understanding at the time, so for college I decided to pursue mechanical engineering.

✨The story of Star Wars led to my discovery of software development as my passion 2 years ago, after I graduated high school and started working towards my major at a local community college. A colleague of mine at the place I worked at the time did programming in his spare time. Through our conversations about programming, I realized that I could be like him, and I too could learn how to code on my own just like him.

😎During my journey towards becoming a self-taught software developer, I bought as many 📒programming books as my budget would allow. I followed coding tutorials, got certificates from online websites, and honed my skills the best way I knew how: practice. I learned everything from the basics of **Python **to data structures and web development, but I wasn't done yet.

🥈I had the fantastic opportunity of joining a coding bootcamp. With what I had already learned during my journey, I decided this would be just the push that I needed to set me on the right path. I spent 3 months learning a new language, styling techniques, best practices, and so much more.

👨‍⚖️I am a full-stack web developer with experience in the JS & Python Frameworks, and more specifically: Next, Nuxt, Svelte, Angular, and React for the frontend; Node.js, Express, Nest, Django, FastAPI, GraphQL, and REST API for the backend; and SQL and MongoDB for databases*.

💪I am currently targeting to be a senior level software developer, and my coding journey doesn't end there. I believe there is so much that I can accomplish with my skills, and I'm excited to apply them in a professional setting as well as continue to hone them in my personal time!🥇
