About
I'm a junior software / web developer from San Antonio, Texas with a passion for expanding my skillset. I am a recent graduate from Texas A&M - San Antonio where I studied computer science and will be continuing to study it as I work on my Master of Science in Computer Science. I have a background in Java, Python, and various web technologies such as React, Svelte, and Vue. Other interests include the Rust and Zig programming languages.
As of late I have greatly enjoyed learning more about systems programming and memory safety as well as the methods by which programming languages are created, such as through tokenization and parsing abstract syntax trees. I have also found aspects of machine learning and artificial intelligence to be fascinating to learn and explore as I attempt to apply those concepts to programs and models driven by Rust- and / or Zig-based code bases.
