Bio

I am a college freshman who loves computers-- anything about them, coding, hardware, all of it. I plan to major in Computer Engineering in College. I've taken many different computer-based classes, in and out of the classroom. I started to learn to code at 13 years old as a fun activity to keep my mind active over the pandemic, though my love for coding flourished into something I want to pursue in the future. My love for hardware came about a an earlier age, I loved to break technology since I was a child, seeing what made them work has been something that I’ve enjoyed for a long time. This is something that I am currently pursing as a teenager to help get actual practice with hardware, through my apprenticeship for my school districts IT department. This apprenticeship is recognized by ARCH, and is one of the only apprenticeships recognized by the state of California.
