$cat about.md

I'm a Software Engineering graduate from Western Governors University with a focus on building practical, real-world applications. My background spans backend development, cloud infrastructure, and IT service management.

Currently a Material Handler at Tesla, where I operate warehouse management systems (WMS) daily to track inventory movement, while building AI-powered tools and sharpening my skills in Python, Java, and cloud technologies on the side.

My goal is to work in a role where I can apply both my software engineering foundation and my IT knowledge to build and maintain systems that actually matter.
