Skills

Introduction

Hi! I'm Robert, an aspiring full-stack developer! I've been programming since 8th grade, first learning Lua and Java programming. Since then, I've worked to expand my experience with computer science to many languages, mainly focusing on JavaScript and TypeScript, Java, Python, and C.

I don't limit myself to these languages however, and have often branched out or delved deeper into their extensive features, and often spend time learning more about programming languages and their frameworks.

Education

My first educational experience with computer science started in high-school, where I built my first project, a simple pixel-art themed racing game. It wasn't much compared to now, but I vividly remember my computer science teacher being incredibly happy with the project. Though I initially had experience with programming, this was the first environment where I could see just how impressive my work was, and how it made an impact on my class.

I attended the University of Texas as San Antonio, completing my computer science degree in December of 2024. I consistently achieved exceptional grades with my professors, and constantly tried my best to excel in the classroom, while applying my learning outside of it.

Additional Hobbies

When I'm not working or programming, I'd say I entertain myself with two big hobbies, though I often like to try new things to see if they stick, one new hobby for me being cooking/grilling.

First and foremost, my biggest hobby is Astrophotography and Astronomy. As a kid, I was always obsessed with looking at the night sky and stars. While I don't often get the time to, I try to venture out around Texas to find dark-spots, where you can see the milky-way with the human eye, and many other deep-sky objects with a telescope or camera.

My close second would probably be computer hardware, I often like to spend time researching the newest parts, along with how they perform with their predecessors. This fortunately coincides with computer science, since certain disiplines (like Machine/Deep learning) can require a lot of computing power from a graphics card or CPU.
