Hi, I’m Joseph. I’m a curious software developer and tinker-at-heart who loves turning ideas into practical, polished applications. I’m currently pursuing a BS in Computer Science at San Diego State University, and I’m applying my studies to real-world projects across web, mobile, and game development. I enjoy learning new stacks, collaborating with teammates, and delivering reliable software that users actually enjoy. When I’m not coding, I’m exploring new tech, contributing to open-source projects, and refining my skills in full-stack development, cloud infrastructure, and UX-focused design. I thrive in fast-paced environments and am always looking for ways to ship value quickly while maintaining quality.
