Graduate of University of Nevada Las Vegas
holding a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science.
Academic Tutor at College of Southern Nevada,
mentoring CS students allowing them to excel
in their studies and understanding of programming language concepts and algorithms.
Resilient lead in the Drumbots, a world-renowned international LED
percussion act well known as the the official NHL drumline for
the Vegas Golden Knights.
The demand for software solutions increase at the rate of rapidly expanding technologies. I envision the future of software solutions for tomorrow's digital landscape thriving at the crossroads of innovation and technology.
