About Me


At heart I'm a developer who aims to make helpful software. I'm currently working with tools like Webpack, TailwindCSS, and jQuery to make that dream come true. I am currently a Junior in highschool trying to make 10 year old me's dreams a reality, one line of code at a time. I like to keep my projects organized, even if my life currently isnt. I work on projects I believe in. You should too.
