Education

Discovered late in university, the power of computer science quickly reshaped a journey that began in geography, GIS, and biology. From scripting in AML and Bash in 1999 to building modern web apps with Python, Django, Flask, JavaScript, Vue, and more—every step since has been driven by a passion for learning and creating.
