Charity Website Myriathon

I built this a few years ago using the MEAN stack. The website is still live, click the button below to navigate to it!

LCS Stock Exchange

Built several years ago, this website project was meant to practice the MEAN stack more. It uses CRUD properties, and allows users to buy and sell stock in Esports teams for League of Legends.

Why I'm changing careers?

Six Years ago, I tried to start a company in the Esports space. After four years of work, and a few pivots along the way, I was forced to close it down. My one regret is not knowing more about programming and development, after having to work with developers for the entire lifecycle of the company. So I decided to join a bootcamp, and then take part in the Northeastern Align program. As of right now, I have no regrets, and happy to be a Husky!

Hobbies And Interests

Games

I've always loved playing games as a kid, from SNES to current Xbox Series S and PC gaming. My all time favorite game is Megaman X, display in the image above.

Fish

I started in the hobby around 2019, keeping Neon Tetras. Now, I keep Tetras, Guppies, and more! I also am a Guppy breeder, and donate my fish to local pet shops near me.

Travel

My Fiance and I travel as often as can be during these hard times in the pandemic. Recently, we've traveled to Los Angeles, Monterey, and soon to Seattle. Any chance to get away for a while!
