About Me

I love programming (every programming problem is a logic puzzle I get to solve) and I've always had a very broad range interests, until this last semester in which I took an Enterprise COBOL for Fintech class. This class made me realize I'd love to work on such an innovative and stable platform as IBM's mainframe in any capacity. I volunteer as a historic weapons demonstrator at the Castillo de San Marcos, working hands on with the general public and performing lots of public speaking. Lastly, I was the saxophone section captain in my high school marching band, learning leadership skills in a competitive environment.
