I grew up loving the stars, and telling every adult that asked about what I wanted to do in the future, "No, you're thinking of an astronaut, I want to be an astronomer. They don't go into space." My mom would smile at me slightly confused and off-handedly say I would change my mind when I got older. I did. I said I wanted to be an aerospace engineer and send people to space instead.
I still love the stars, but Aerospace Engineering requires a lot of math, and four years of Mechanical Engineering showed me that math does not love me back.
I'm someone who made miniature choose-your-own-adventure text games in Matlab for fun after finishing assignments in class. So it wasn't difficult to turn away from my love of space to find my other loves instead: computers and art. And what is web design & development but the blending of technology and artistic expression?
That's how I got here. That's why I do this. Because for all the moments that see me banging my head against my desk, there is a simple, uncomplicated joy in using code to make something beautiful. So if you want to know who I am, that's my answer: a lover of art and space who got rejected by math and found a home in code.
