A bit more about me.

About

I really enjoy exploring and implementing ideas; ideas that make life easier by solving problems.

I always wonder “How?” and “Why?”.

I enjoy finances

 I’ve always been interested in personal finance and money. To me, money is a tool to go cool places like you’ll see next below.

I use GnuCash to manage my personal finances; a really awesome, in-depth program.

I have traveled to Dominican Republic, Seattle, WA & New Zealand

Dominican Republic

 I went on this trip with a great friend and his family in high school. We stayed on the beach and did daily excursions.

Seattle, WA

 I was selected to be part of a six student team of developers going on a trip to build an app in Seattle. Over the course of two and a half weeks, we built our restaurant and food rating app and used it all through the city. We lived and breathed the Seattle tech lifestyle. In addition to developing, we interviewed and chatted with current employees at tech companies. For our spare time, we visited tourist sites and hiked in the Cascade mountains.

Read more about it in the school news article.

New Zealand

 This is easily the trip of a life time. I spent two and a half weeks with fellow college classmates and two professors traveling from Auckland, NZ to Queenstown, NZ. This opportunity was incredible and I cannot wait to go back some day.

Thanks!

Thanks for at least scrolling this far!

My goal is to keep moving towards greater goals and experiences beyond what I knew I could do.
