01. introduction

prequel avatar filter profile headshot

Hello, I am a budding software developer and newbie content creator! After a period of self-study I enrolled at Actualize to learn full-stack web development and have never been more excited about the future. Alongside project building I enjoy listening to Harvard's CS50 online lectures, the CodeNewbie podcast and taking time to practice digital painting. When I'm not at my computer you can find me walking around the city with my instant camera or patiently waiting for the first signs of winter so that I can break out my snowboard.
