About Me

Hello! I am a Software Developer based in New Jersey. I started my coding journey in 2014 with a lifelong passion to learn how things worked. I was refurbishing Xbox consoles when I got into hardware modding, reading CPU architecture e-books during high school classes during downtime. I built a C# .NET Framework app utilizing RPC to send remote commands to Xbox consoles, along with a suite of security and obfuscation techniques to distribute my software, which included over 300 active users. I provided remote desktop support, training other developers on security, and helping others with their Windows machines.

I graduated with a Master's Degree in Information Systems Management and a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Information Systems.

My latest work includes an open-source custom YouTube client with over 22,000 downloads and 470+ stars, a passion project to learn JavaScript and connect with others. Feel free to check out all of my projects below!
