I have used data visualization software such as Power BI and Tableau with a significant amount of experience in Microsoft applications such as Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.

As I stated in my Work page, I have experience with the project management software called Asana. I have put hours into it figuring out exactly how it works.

I have years of experience on Windows OS systems as well as experience with Ubuntu and Linux mint systems.

I have used Microsoft Azure vms as well as VMware Virtual machines to help in the virtualization process.

Hardware

In terms of hardware I have experience building and taking apart desktop and chromebook systems. I have worked with servers and switches though not in depth. I also have experience with security camera and printer systems.

I have used Virtual Reality Machines such as the Occulus rift and the Meta quest.

I have worked with and troubleshooted peripherals such as keyboards, mice, monitors, controllers, and more.

I have done troubleshooting and research on microphone, headphone, and speaker equipment using midi, xlr, and usb cables.

Lastly I have a home lab Rasberry pi that I set up and use for smaller programs.

Programming

Languages

After my education at LSC I have proficiency with several coding and Markup Languages. On the web side of programming I create websites with HTML, CSS, PHP, Javascript, SQL, and I've used frameworks such as Bootstrap.

Python and Javascript are the scripting languages I know best. I used python to create my API backend for one of my projects. I used python to create a food tracking app in my first year.

Java and C# are my best compiled languages with byfar the most experience with C# in and out of class. I have created many personal and school projects ranging from console apps to functional assistance programs I used weekly if not daily

Some more obscure languages and uses include OpenGL as a shader language and RobloxLua a subset of the Lua language.

Achievements

Dean's List

In my time at LSC I've maintained a performance well enough to catch the attention of the school's dean landing me into the dean's list. I hope this shows how much effort I'm willing to put into this field.

SuperMileage Competition

I was lucky enough to be part of the supermileage racing team in highschool and work with electronic motors, wiring, controls, welding and more. There we scored over a hundred miles per gallon converted from electricity usage.

E-sports Club

At LSC I was part of the E-sports club familiarizing me with even more and diverse computer systems. Not only that, it introduced me to interesting video game programming and mechanics as well as a fast paced and competitive environment.
