I began coding at the age of 14 (17 years ago), starting with Lua to create small games.
I quickly discovered a passion for coding, I enjoyed the challenges it brought
and the creativity involved.
Coding had always been a constant in my life and I wanted to make it my career, so I began attending classes at my local community college,
where I fell in love with designing websites and apps. I later graduated earning two degrees.
I studied computer science at McHenry County College from 2019 to 2024. I graduated earning two degrees.
I spend my free time training in martial arts, hitting the gym, or running. I also enjoy working on small indie game projects that I'm passionate about.

A RESTful API I developed with full CRUD functionality.
Deployed on my VPS
using PM2 as the process manager. It leverages Sequelize for seamless
interaction with a MySQL database. I also did a full rebuilt of this project
in pure PHP.
Iron Journal is a published iOS app for strength training and progress tracking,
built from the ground up to deliver valuable insights while lifting.
It features a custom workout builder, phase-based session mechanics, automatic rest tracking,
and customizable data graphs powered by Swift Charts. Users can set goals, manage
personal records, and export workouts in Excel-compatible format.
The app uses a multithreaded Core Data architecture to handle complex data and ensure
responsive UI. Firebase Auth is integrated for user authentication, along with Crashlytics for
crash reporting.
Built using Swift, UIKit, and SwiftUI with over 500 commits of iterative development.
Iron Journal (Prototype) is a published workout tracking app for Android and an early prototype of the iOS version.
Built natively in Kotlin using Android Studio, it features customizable workout plans, automated rest tracking, and goal setting. Firebase handles authentication and real-time data storage.
The project was developed under Agile SCRUM for a final-term requirement, with strict deadlines and cross-platform testing throughout.
A simplistic app that utilizes API services to get the weather
in either Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Written in Kotlin using an MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) design pattern
this app fetches the weather by retrieving the city name of the zip code entered
by the user via API; afterwards it leverages a second API to fetch the
weather for corresponding town or city.
A demo iOS app that complements my Web Dashboard Database Project,
utilizing my custom MySQL API for database operations.
Designed for a fictional electric company, the app is built in Swift
using SwiftUI and supports full CRUD functionality. It also features
data visualization with Swift Charts, providing clear insights into
key metrics.
A web dashboard for a fictional electric company to manage and
display metrics.
It employs PHP for database operations and jQuery
AJAX for dynamic loading.

A fully responsive website for a fictional coffee shop, built as a college project.
Features three pages of full content; a home/landing page, a menu page, and an about page.
This site showcases promotional material for an old game I developed.
Originally created using standard HTML and CSS. Later,
I rebuilt it using React.js, focusing on object-oriented programming
principles to create a more maintainable codebase resulting in this project.
