About Me

 

I am currently a student on hiatus working on a Bachelors Degree in Computer Science and a minor in Interdisciplinary Film and Digital Media at the University of New Mexico. I am currently working in a helpdesk environment troubleshooting issues with Active Directory, Office 365, Exchange, various tax and accounting software and many other programs.

During my time at the University of New Mexico I developed a deep passion for programming things that interact with the user and have found that websites and games are a great way to explore that interaction. Right now I am looking to expand my knowledge any way I can and mostly doing that by working on a couple of projects.
