__ my portfolio
to be honest, I chose computer science because my dad recommended it to me. cs seemed the most stable in terms of job security. prior to that, i never had any personal interest in computers, games, or the workings of technology.
but regardless of my fast-changing- interests, there is one thing about me that’s been true since high school. once I set my mind to something, i put in my all.
if I was going to be a computer science student, I wouldn’t leave with any regrets. from freshman year, I threw myself into as many extracurriculars as I could to get connected and improve my leadership skills. I was going to speed-run my way out of my noob rank.
The best part of being completely clueless is you become more open to asking all sorts of questions and requesting help from everyone.
I had many mentors and classmates who encouraged me to keep pushing. YouTube creators served as points of inspiration. I expanded my skills and challenged myself to keep learning. I developed a love for designing fun interfaces and web development. In my free time, I watched tutorial videos to build my skills.
By the time Summer 2025 came around, i realized how much I love designing, building, and telling stories with the things I create. I am so blessed to have a God-given passion for teaching others and being a part of community.
So.... What’s my goal in life? To honor and glorify God and enjoy Him forever.
In everything I do, I seek to glorify Him with my discipline, integrity, and commitment to serving people.
If God wills it, I will continue to do so as a teacher, programmer, and lifelong student.
"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."
