I'm a student from Kansas City who got their start during high school creating Discord bots in Python and Minecraft plugins in Java. In the hardware realm, I've made many projects with Arduino and Raspberry Pi. From there I've made REST APIs and websites using SvelteKit and Rust. Using my experience, I placed 3rd in a SkillsUSA Missouri State programming competition.
