Interest in Technology

I've had a strong interest in technology since I was young. I loved how it connected the world and gave me a gateway to seemingly infinite knowledge. I knew I wanted to get into tech since I knew what the internet was.

That's how I ended up going to my dream school for college, Georgia Institute of Technology, and I even got an amazing internship as an SDE (Software Development Engineering) intern at Amazon in 2020.

I've recently also begun my journey into UX design. I'm currently taking a certificate course to learn more, and I'm always striving to branch out my areas of expertise as much as possible. I'm very passionate about technology and learning as much about it as I can.

I hope that you see that passion shine through in this portfolio!
