My Journey!

Published on: October 8, 2024

It took me a while to decide that I want a career in coding. It all started when I was playing minecraft and saw online servers and decided that I would love to make one of those myself! I made my first minecraft server at 14 and averaged a playerbase peaking at 30 people! It wasn't good enough, I wanted to make something unique with custom plugins. I didn't start it again until I was 16 years old when I leared on to configurate the plugins and did so for playerbases peaking up to 300 players! Between the ages of 16-17 I worked alongside a team to learn how to make the plugins which were coded in javascript and decided it's something I want to make my career in. Not just coding plugins in a game but to become a fullstack Software Engineer. I'm currently 18 years old in my first year of college at Northern Arizona University and I'm excited to see where this takes me.

What are my goals?

I would love to work for fortune 500 company as a Software Engineer! Before that I would love to work with local companies or start-ups to see a difference I can make with my programming.
