College Student, Software Engineer

Objective

I am a young software engineer with a penchant for web development, excited to discover new technologies and to make a positive difference in the world. While dabbling in this and that is fun, really digging into a deep and fascinating project is an awesome experience. I can't wait to see what of tomorrow's tech I can invent, use, and enjoy.
