I grew up with a strong interest in computers as most professionals in the tech field did. Fifth grade was the time period in which the decision was made that I was going to build a career in technology. I started building simple websites which propelled me to start a small web company in high school building sites for local companies and professional businesses. Through a connection I ended up creating a website for a small start-up company in Tampa, FL.
I worked in New York at the New York Stock Exchange as a Computer Repair Specialist troubleshooting network problems on the marketplace. Also, I was nominated for 2004 and 2005 Technology Award by National Youth Leadership Forum – Only person selected in the region to receive the opportunity to visit top technology firms in California such as Google, Microsoft, Apple and Adobe.
Since majoring in Computer Science at University of Central Florida and knew code, I would often come up with some creative ideas for some crazy hacks for fun. With innovation and creativity comes respect, something I have always looked at as being one of the most honorable characteristics of a person.
Aside from the tech field; I’ve always been interested in television production, layout and design, and photography. I try keep up to date with all the new technology gear and gadgets on the market. Now I couldn’t be happier as I’m working as a Graphic Artist that is geared around my true passions; Technology, Art, Code and Fun.
