I build web apps, mobile apps, and the occasional addictive game. Turning curiosity and curly braces into shipped products since the Khan Academy days.

The weapons in my arsenal. Levels based on how much I've used them in the wild.
$ cat about-me.txt
First and foremost, I am a child of God. He is my Father in Heaven. His Son Jesus Christ, is my perfect older brother. I am not ashamed to be a part of His kingdom on earth, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
I am a child of some of the best parents, who taught me to work hard, help others, and do my best even when I don't want to do something.
By profession, I am a web developer who loves building things that are both useful and delightful. Started coding at 13 on Khan Academy, and the love never stopped.
I've built full-stack apps with Next.js + Supabase, e-commerce with Angular + Stripe, native-ish mobile apps with Capacitor + Ionic, a game with Godot, and even a Sudoku solver in Python that I built from the ground up.
I consistently learn new techniques, tech stacks, best practices, and JavaScript frameworks such as Angular and React. I keep my programming and algorithm design skills up with Project Euler: solving the different problems using Python, JavaScript, and if necessary C# for high-end multiprocessing for majorly complex problems.
Currently exploring AI-assisted development. Even though I do not like how much people are using AI, I do see that there are good things coming from it. So I am learning how to use AI to build and debug.
Fun facts:
I once solved a 3x3 Rubik's cube in under 10 seconds.
I graduated highschool, with an Associate Degree in Computer Science, soon after turning 17.
