Interests

Looking to build and grow with a team of like-minded individuals in web development. I like learning new technologies in back-end and front-end web development and currently learning how to work with Next.

When not studying or building web app demos, I like to spend time with family and friends. In the summer I play soccer and go to any festivals in the Chicagoland area. During the winter and this COVID-19 pandemic we are in, I enjoy practicing and playing the cello and bass guitar.
