About

I was born and raised in Georgia and a big interest of mine has always been computers. This is mainly because I grew up playing a lot of video games. Some of which include Call of Duty, Overwatch, Hyper Dash, and League of Legends, but are certaintly not limited to as I have been gaming for a long time. I love playing competitive games mainly because I have participated in ESPORTS and played in multiple tournaments over the years. Although I have played quite a
significant amount of single player or story-based games, my favorite of which is Marvel Ultimate Alliance. I have always been a major fan of superheroes, watching all the old 2000s X-Men movies and loving the modern MCU and DCU franchises, with my favorite Marvel Super Hero being Captain American and Batman for DC. In terms of television, my top 3 have to be The Boys, Mindhunter, and The Man In the High Castle.

EDUCATION

I started at Georgia State in August of 2019 and will graduate December of 2022 with a Bachelors in Computer Science. Studying at Georgia State has been a phenomenal experience as it has provided me with so much academic experience with Computer Science, specifically as it pertains to Software Engineering, as well as allowing me opportunities outside of my degree based classes that further enriched my knowledge as well.

First of these opportunities was the Georgia State Hackathon, where I competed against other Georgia State Students, in a test of my programming abilities

Another such opportunity was with The Georgia State Varsity ESPORTS program, where I was offered a screenshot to compete in multiple collegiate tournaments for Overwatch

PROFESSIONAL

Starting in August of 2021, I began working at Code Ninjas out of Smyrna, where I worked as Code Sensei, specializing in teaching game based coding cirriculum to students K-12. This job functioned in 3 different strucutres:

First was the drop-ins structure which had students come in for JR’s where they worked with snap circuits, robotics, or scratch jr projects and learned fundamental concepts of computing typically at ages until 8 or 9 years old, or they come in for create where they work in Javascript, C# and Unity, Roblox Studio, python, or block based Scratch programming.

Another format was camps, where I would lead a camp curriculum throughout the week at the center and ninjas would learn to work with a variety of fun, specialized, and in some cases pretty in-depth computing subjects and exercises. Namely, working with microcontrollers on Makecode with the Microbits, Making games on Makecode arcade, Modding in Minecraft, Robotics in Minecraft, Making maps and and games in Roblox, AI based programming with Teachable Machine, etc.

Another structure of instruction for a code sensei would be in After School Programs, where I would call in virtually or in a more likely case be present at a school and lead a lesson, I would plan out on my lesson and lead it for them after their normal classes with children ages K-12. Typically activities in 3D Design with Tinkercad, AI, Microcontrollers, Makecode Arcade, Ozaria, etc. Similar type of curriculum for events I also helped lead birthday parties and extra-academic events like Jack and Jill through similar curriculum adjacent activities like an afterschool program lesson.
