I began animating around the age of ten years old, starting with small GIF buddy icons for AOL Instant Messenger and then moving onto stick figure animation with Macromedia Flash 5 (now known as Adobe Animate).

In college, I started working on advanced character animation in the style of Looney Tunes. After graduating, I shifted towards abstract animation to complement the music videos for the bands that I was in. I absolutely love animation and continue to push myself into new directions with it.

Dancing has also been a longtime hobby of mine ever since I first learned how to moonwalk. Every so often, I make sure to head out and tear it up on the dance floor!

Fun fact: In 2020, I passed the audition to be a contestant on season 17 of the network television show, "So You Think You Can Dance", but it was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

By the time it came back, I was older than the 18-30 age range to be eligible to compete.😢

After working in I.T. for ten years, I became very familiar with all kinds of AV/conferencing systems. However, it just wasn't the right fit and I decided to go back to school to make a career shift into the world of code.

From contributing to the open source Pencil2D animation program, to building this website, GUI apps, and a machine learning image classifier, I've become quite fond of programming over the last few years and am excited to make the jump into professional software engineering!
