My mission is to apply my programming skills and curiosity to develop innovative solutions that solve real-world problems and make a meaningful impact in technology.
About
I am a Computing student at East Tennessee State University’s BlueSky Institute with a strong interest in IT operations, software development, and automation. I enjoy problem-solving, teamwork, and learning new technologies to deliver impactful solutions. I have worked with technologies such as C#, Python, SQL, HTML, Unity, AutoCAD, PLCs, and FANUC robotics throughout my education. My internship experience at BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee gave me hands-on exposure to enterprise systems, including Microsoft 365, IBM AIX, DataStage, Azure DevOps, and PowerShell. These roles helped me strengthen my technical expertise and ability to collaborate across teams. I am passionate about developing innovative solutions—whether through coding, automation, or system optimization—that improve efficiency and create real-world impact.
