Get to know me.

Intro

My name is *******. This website is the sandbox of experiements I have been wanting to create for a while now. I plan to 'publish' / 'make public' some of my work I have done, and force myself to create more. Lets dive into who I am, the need for this website, and the type of content I want here.

*psp* Please don't judge my writing that closely, if you have any suggestions please reach out !HERE!

whoami

^peep ts

I'm from Texas (get ready for my writing to have "y'all" everywhere), and I'm gonna leave it at that.

... and no I'm not from f*ck#ss dallas smh (sorry to the Dallas dwellers)

I graduted highschool with an associates and went with the good ol' university route (GIG 'EM). Orginaly, I went to university for pre-med with the idea in my head that one day I wanted to become a doctor. Well, after I finished Organic Chemistry 2 and some health sciences classes, I decided I was not as interested in medicine as I thought.

I just didn't like all the memorization. Felt like I was not learning a skill.

I tried looking into hospital admin and other specialities, but I couldn't find a fit. It felt like I had wasted the past 3 years (this includes my time getting my associates), but luckily my partner suggested that I look into computers. I really enjoyed building PC's growing up and always wanted to learn to code. So I decided I wanted to give a try at Computer science, I also liked how it felt like I was going to walk away from college with a skill. Unfortunately, I tried to join in probably the largest surge of computer science undergradutates in our history which was right after Covid-19 pandemic. I was rejected and I had to reapply before I was accepted in. Once getting over this hurdle, it felt like things were starting to click into place.

Now after joining a sweaty major with people who have been coding since birth, I had try and catch up if I was going to get internships. I grinded projects and applications while doing classes. Unfortunately, internships were far and few between, plus they expected you to have some type of experience already.

Which I did not have.

I was able to pick up an internship with a local union that Summer to build them a dashboard. I did this for free because I was focused on building experience. This later turned into a nice side hustle job in college. When I returned back to school that following Fall, I kept grinding and landed 2 internship interviews. Just shows how important exeperince is. I bombed the first interview. I practiced (not as much as I should have) for the second interview, and thought I fumbled this one too. I ended up getting a call back,

Now I'm busy pondering what I should do in my free time, which of course is to learn more. So here I am trying to make this website / idea come to fruition. I constantly see people on LinkedIn posting their portfolios as well, so I guess this will be my sh*tty portfolio too now. I have 2 dogs and 3 chickens at the time of writing this.

Trying to think about what else there is to say about myself that doesn't doxx me more than I already have lol

I'm currently really inspired by early 2000's websites and all the aura they had with them. Which is kind of what I am trying to base my / this website around. Also, I do not consider myself a front-end engineer whatsoever, s

I have a <span className="annotated" data-comment="Her name is Bella">dog</span> that I love.
