About Me

My coding journey kicked off on Geocities, where I crafted a page dedicated to my favorite comic book heroes. A move to Hawaii marked a pivotal chapter, immersing myself fully into the coding world. Eventually I became an instructor. It was immensely joyful guiding young minds towards success and watching their careers grow. While working with high-end clients, I've sharpened my skills and embraced the importance of clean, efficient code. Off the screen, I cherish dad moments, catch waves on my paddle board, and hone my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu skills.
