I graduated from high school in 2020. Due to COVID-19, I am taking a year off to work at a small startup called Better Mousetrap, LLC.

Most of my technical knowledge is self-taught, though I'm enrolled in the 2021 freshman class at the Colorado School of Mines. I plan to receive a bachelors in computer science there.

I have lots of small projects that I work on. My most recent project was for my (now former) high school's bingo night. Hosted at https://coronabingo.app, it is a virtual bingo game that you can play with your friends and family.

I've spent time learning about technologies in every layer of the "stack."

Hardware level:

• I build electronics projects with the Arduino, ESP8266/32, and other microcontrollers.
• I have (and play with) an original Altair 8800b (a hand-me-down from my grandfather).
• I designed my own rudimentary 8-bit CPU using Logisim.
• I sometimes participate in CTF competitions where I specialize in the "Binary Exploitation" challenges.
• I am familiar with the x86 instruction set and have written assembly programs.

Operating system level:

• I sometimes compile my own versions of the Linux Kernel for very specific purposes.
• I use Linux often and I understand some of the inner-workings of the Linux Kernel and other utilities that are loaded on to popular distributions.
• I sometimes set up on-premise or cloud servers running Linux.

User application level:

• I made a piece of software to recover the files on my secondary hard drive after the filesystem was corrupted.
• I made a simple Android app when I was in 8th grade, but it was pretty bad.
• I am currently learning Flutter.
• I haven't really built any (GUI) user applications for Linux, macOS or Windows.

Web level:

• I have built countless little apps with HTML, CSS, and Javascript.
• My favorite front-end JS framework is VueJS.
• I've used Firebase as a backend for some web applications that I've developed.
• I'm learning how to use NestJS to build better API backends.

TL; DR: I get my hands dirty with all kinds of technologies. If you're looking to hire me, know that I might not have experience with the particular technology that you want me to work with, but I do have the ability to learn.
