and still be just as meaningful through Christ"

The Journey So Far

My journey began with a degree in Physics, where I fell in love with the universe's complex patterns. This led me to the world of code, a place where I can not only observe those patterns but build new ones. Now I create tools that are both intelligent and intuitive.

"Do everything in love. That's the only way to make something that lasts, whether it's a relationship or a repository."
