About Me
I'm a Software Engineer and a former Minecraft: Java plugin development enthusiast who is passionate about engineering software of any kind.
I graduated from CSU Channel Islands with a degree in Computer Science (Honors Cum Laude) and gained contract experience in software engineering at ServiceMob Inc. in 2023-24. In a span of 6 months, I built an optimized data pipeline from the ground up that shortened ServiceMob's customer onboarding time by 50%. With a strong foundation in software engineering and Minecraft: Java development, I'm now looking to develop skills in Minecraft: Bedrock development.
My professional and project experience have developed a comprehensive skill set in software development, with the top skills including JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, Python, and modern web technologies (such as Next.js and React), along with expertise in Git, REST APIs, and SQL. With a vast skill set and excellence in Computer Science, I'm currently in the process of acclimating to the position of Minecraft: Bedrock Developer, and I'm developing an authentic portfolio that reflects my growing skills in Bedrock development.
I'm currently focused on developing a unique Bedrock add-on that adds lightning-style combat to Minecraft. I'm also developing a Next.js app that serves as an interactive testing suite for the Hacker News website to solidify my skills in JavaScript. I specialize in creating unique experiences in Minecraft with original ideas.
If you value authenticity in Minecraft creator content, let's connect so we can bring original ideas to the Minecraft Marketplace. I'd be thrilled to take my creativity to a marketplace partner!
