Programming for me is an art. It's also weird calling it "programming". The reality is, the opportunity to create and author something from nothing feels amazing. From building award-winning hackathon projects to developing automation scripts that boost efficiency by 175%, being the technician underneath the hood is surreal and one of my favorite passions.
Whether it's crafting custom Shopify themes, building Discord bots, or leading teams through complex web applications, I'm always pushing boundaries and learning new technologies.
Honestly, you might look at my repositories and call my code dog water, and that's okay! I'm not very experienced with this, but I'm an incredibly fast and willing learner.
Teach a man to fish and he's a fisherman. Teach the same man how to program, and now he's an Angular. lol.
