About
I am a dedicated developer based in Michigan and a senior Computer Science student at Grand Valley State University. My academic journey has provided me with a solid foundation in both theory and practice although my learning extends much beyond the classroom. I am a lifelong learner, with a growth mindset, always eager to learn and take on new challenges. With graduation on the horizon April 2025, I am excited to transition my passion for technology into real-world solutions for a mission I believe in.
TLDR: I'm a software developer with a *soon to be* B.S. in Computer Science, who loves learning new tricks, building cool stuff, and tackling difficult problems.

This Portfolio!
I spent a significant amount of time learning React, HTML, and CSS to create this portfolio, and I am incredibly proud of the outcome. Building on that success, I am currently developing more advanced React projects that leverage Next.js and other libraries to integrate robust back end functionality.

FilmBuffs
FilmBuffs is a iOS mobile application that allows users to search for movies, tv shows, actors, and actresses. The app utilizes the TMDb API to provide users with up-to-date information. In addition, FilmBuffs was made with machine learning in mind. It has a feature that allows users to take a photo of an actor or actress and uses my machine learning model to identify and provide information about the celebrity.
