I am versatile.

My interest in Linux is initially what sparked my interest in development. I taught myself how to set up a Linux server when I was just 13 years old. Within a year, I was able to navigate the entire operating system with no problems. I spent many hours learning, compiling software, and configuring system services. Eventually, I needed to write my own scripts for automation and I learned BASH. Since then, I have learned Python for more advanced system scripts. I have even built my own Linux distributions using the Linux From Scratch book.

While I continued to learn operating systems, I wrote some HTML and read my first programming book, HTML4 for Dummies. Just a few months after that, I developed my first website using PHP and MySQL. Now, I'm an expert in React.js and modern JavaScript development. Throughout my career I have written small applications, as well as contributed to enterprise applications. In my free time, I actively develop GrubStack, a software suite I built for food-ordering payments and checkout — a Python/Flask API, a dashboard in vanilla React, and three Next.js apps: an ordering app, a terminal app for cooks to see incoming orders, and a kiosk app for self-checkout from a tablet or kiosk screen at food trucks and small restaurants.
