About Me

I’m a software engineering student at Launch School, dedicated to mastering the fundamentals of web development and software engineering. My career vision involves progressing from a remote software engineer to a specialized AI/ML engineer in the finance sector.

Professional Background

I’m currently focused on building a strong technical foundation through Launch School’s mastery-based curriculum. My background includes:

  • Software Engineering studies at Launch School with focus on Ruby backend development
  • Project Management certification
  • Business development experience from founding TimothyTek
  • Technical content creation on Medium and Dev.to

Technical Environment

My development workflow is centered around terminal-based tools that maximize productivity and minimize context-switching:

  • macOS as primary operating system
  • Neovim as primary text editor/IDE
  • tmux for terminal multiplexing and session management
  • Command-line tools for development, data analysis, and content creation
  • Shell scripting for automation and workflow optimization
  • Git for version control and documentation
