• Education

    • Systems Programming
      Associates of Arts, De Anza College
      Cupertino, California
      While unemployed following my graduation from university, I decided to learn programming to kill time while I looked for a job. My primary coursework involved learning the fundamentals of Computer Science, Computer Architecture, C++, and Object Oriented Programming. In addition, I acquired a certificate of completion in Python Programming.
    • Molecular Biology
      Bachelors of Science, CalPoly Humbolt
      Arcata, California
      My original plan in life was to go into science and research, however that didn't work out as I intended. In the end, it ended up being a valuable experience regardless, since the process of developing and refining research experiments is eerily similar to the troubleshooting process we use in IT/Software Development.

  • Work Experience

    • Datacenter Technician
      IBM Cloud
      Santa Clara, California
      I am currently employed as a Datacenter Technician while finishing up my Systems Programming degree and searching for a full time role. I spend much of my downtime at work working on projects and learning new skills.
    • Desktop Support
      Pharmacyclics
      Sunnyvale, California
      I got my first real job through De Anza College as an internship. While working at Pharmacyclics, I performed the exact same tasks the rest of the department did, including helping customers with IT issues, company projects, and new hire onboarding.
    • Brand Ambassador
      Old Navy
      San Jose, California
      That guy at the Old Navy checkout line, that was me. I'm sorry.
