About Me

Creative engineer with a
data-driven mindset.
A computer scientist with a broad set of interests and the drive to actually do something with them. Software development, AI, Automation , data science, business analysis and stepping a foot in DevOps and Cloud Computing.
I'm not the loudest person in the room, in fact I am very quiet but I pay attention and I'm always willing to learn something new, be corrected, or pick up a skill I've never touched before.
