My passion for technology started at a very young age because my dad and I used to frequent a tech shop owned by his friend. I remember using CDs and diskettes to store and share content with friends and family. As a child, I was always in front of a computer screen, either navigating the internet, installing new software or playing video games. This childhood curiosity led me to dive into troubleshooting and programming. After high school, I started my own transportation business. I was able to utilize my passion for technology to make it extremely successful. That passion for technology never faded, so I sold my company and returned to school to complete my studies in technology. I am currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree at California State University – East Bay, majoring in Information Technology Management. I’m focused on building accessible software that meets business needs and improves user experiences.
