About Me.
Ever since I embarked on my programming journey as a young child, I've been entranced by the power and flexibility of code.
Today, I'm an avid competitive programmer and web developer. Programming is my superpower: With it, what I can create is limited only by my imagination!
Outside of programming, I play a lot of board games, especially social deduction games (my personal favorite is Secret Hitler). I also enjoy discussing politics and government!
I strive to bring energy, technical knowledge, and a strong desire to learn with me wherever I go.
