About Me
After graduating from Texas A&M University and working for a Texas consulting firm in their media operations, I started pursing a career in the tech industry. To further my technological skillset, I enrolled in the DevMountain's Full Stack Web Development Bootcamp. After completion of DevMountain's Bootcamp and working as a Teaching Assistant, Citi Group extended an offer to join their engineering department as a software developer where I have been working for the past four years. During my time at Citi, I have gained experience and knowledge in many different aspects of the development world.
