About me

My name is Adrian, a software developer that is fascinated by technology. I first gained an interest in coding when I took an elective class at a local community college. I instantly fell in love with the idea that coding is limited by the imagination. With a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and an Associate's degree in Mathematics, education is the most important thing to me.
