My Approach

My philosophy is that no project is too ambitious if you take it on in small chunks. Before starting a project, I always come up with some kind of plan involving clear and achievable work chunks. Working this way ensures my clients will know exactly what they are paying for and gives a clear idea of what exactly I am doing. I strive to establish long lasting relationships with all my clients and treat everyone with great solemnity.

Growing up in Las Vegas wasn't what people envision it to be. The first thing people say when I mention I'm from Las Vegas is usually something along the lines of,

"Oh, do you like gambling?"

While this is true for tourists, 90% of Las Vegas locals have never spent a dime at a casino. In fact, most people do everything in their power to avoid them.

How my tech journey started.

The COVID-19 pandemic was an interesting time for me. School was canceled and eventually fully online, the unemployment rate skyrocketed, and toilet paper was about as rare as diamonds. For most people I know, it was an extremely stressful and traumatizing year; in my case it was quite the opposite. Spending most of my time on my computer doing "school work" and playing video games, I was desperate to find a new hobby. So I started looking into computer programming as it seemed cool at the time. I then spent the rest of the year learning new languages and technologies. While many are unfinished, my projects are still fully public and on GitHub.
