My interest in tech didn't start with a five-year plan, it started with games. Growing up, I was endlessly curious about how the worlds I was playing in were actually built, and that curiosity slowly spread to every app and website I used, always wondering how it all worked underneath. That question is really what led me to pursue Information Technology.

Outside of code, I've always loved making things by hand. I've been drawing and joining creative art contests since elementary school, and that same urge to build something out of nothing carries straight into my projects today. I also grew up playing online games and still do, not just for fun but for the logic behind them, the systems, the puzzles, the problem-solving that makes a good game, or a good piece of software, click.

That mix of curiosity, a creative eye, and a love for working through logic is really what shapes how I approach web and game development today.
