INTERESTS

...

As a software developer, I spend most of my days indoors, but I love to be outside whenever I get the chance. You can find me swimming laps in the pool, hiking through the wilderness, or kayaking down a river. I especially love exploring the beautiful national parks across the US, and I'm always looking for my next adventure. I love to travel a lot, and my all-time favorite city to travel to is Barcelona. The architecture, culture, and food are absolutely incredible. It's hard not to fall in love with the city's unique charm.

When I'm not out and about, I enjoy curling up on the couch and watching my favorite sci-fi and mystery thriller movies and TV shows. I'm also a big fan of sitcoms and stand-up talk shows, Sometimes, when I'm feeling burned out from staring at a screen all day, I'll shut off all electronic devices and immerse myself in Lego building or jigsaw puzzles.

But did you know that I'm also an aspiring chef? That's right, I love experimenting with new recipes and trying out different cuisines. It's a shame that my horticulture skills don't quite match up to my cooking skills, though. Back in college, I majored in landscape architecture, but my green thumb isn't quite there yet. I hate to admit it, but the plants under my care usually don't survive for more than three months. Oops!


PROFESSIONAL GOAL

My professional goal is to become a highly-skilled full-stack engineer proficient in multiple programming languages and frameworks, including front-end, back-end, and database. With a keen interest in technology, I am committed to continuous learning and keeping up-to-date with emerging tools and frameworks, recognizing that the industry is constantly evolving.

Collaborating with talented developers to build scalable and maintainable systems is a key aspiration of mine. I am passionate about creating innovative and intuitive solutions that make a positive impact on people's lives. To achieve this, I plan to master best practices in architecture, testing, and security, ensuring that the software I build is efficient and secure.

As a full-stack engineer, I believe in creating solutions that are not only functional but also easy to use, making the user experience as seamless and enjoyable as possible. I am driven to work collaboratively with individuals from diverse backgrounds and cultures to deliver exceptional results. My ultimate goal is to become a highly respected full-stack engineer with a reputation for producing high-quality software solutions. I aspire to inspire and encourage others to push boundaries and strive for excellence in their careers, using my work as a means to drive positive change in the industry. By achieving my professional goals, I hope to make a significant impact in the world of technology and leave a lasting legacy.
