About Me
I'm a recent UVU graduate currently seeking an entry-level software development role. I enjoy web development because I like working on applications that directly improve the user experience. My experience has primarily focused on Angular, .NET, and full-stack development in production environments.
Outside of programming, I enjoy spending time with family, playing games, reading books, and watching movies and TV.
