About Me

I'm a computer science student at Kirkwood Community College pursuing an Associate of Science, with plans to transfer to the University of Iowa for a Bachelor's in Computer Science.

I'm focused on becoming a full-stack developer, building real projects from the ground up and understanding every line of code along the way. I believe in learning by doing, not just following tutorials.
