Hi there

!

I'm a Software Engineer based in Live Oak, TX with years of experience.

I'll describe myself as a highly motivated, disciplined, and personable developer who loves coding and always learning new technologies.

I love reading books, listening to music and cooking.

Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.
