I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. My passion in learning anything tech related dates as far back to when I received my first video game console. The complexity (for my small brain at the time of course :)) and design of the super Nintendo (or Super Famicon) fascinated me so much as a kid that I began to get motivation to understand how this tech works altogether and started to notice the patterns and designs of everyday objects and started to question how they could be made to be a better experience. At the time, I had no idea that what I was doing was even remotely related to anything I'd end up doing now. Eventually, I gained this knowledge through various teachers and mentors. They taught me all types of ways to look at technology and to always question "how can I make things better". During all this learning, I was invited by a teacher to become a junior partner of a start up called "Koplin and Propati Partners". While being a part of this start up, I began learning the fundamentals of UX and web development. I learned things such as user research, heuristic evaluations, competitive analysis, high/low fidelity wire frames (paper and digital), mock ups, user flows and much more. I'm now implementing this ever developing skill in a vast array of projects (which I'll be adding soon to this site). I recently graduated from the web development intensive course at the New York Code+Design Academy where I gained the skills in multiple programming languages such as HTML5,CSS,Javascript and Ruby. Also, I learned various other things like Bootstrap, Sinatra,Rails, Jquery, Json,AJAX and the version control software known at "Git". I'm excited to see what the future holds for me in the world of tech and how I can one day make an impact on groundbreaking projects!
