I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, for most of my life. In my early middle school years, I started to code virtual games on ROBLOX using a low-level coding language called Lua. On my profile, I made two very successful games, Outrageous Chase and Outrageous Blades, with a combined 376,000 hits, 177,000 unique users, and getting on the website's home page by the time I was 15 years old. I am also into video editing, graphic design, marketing, and product development. These skills complement each other within computer science, so I take pride in putting time into all of them simultaneously! Feel free to look at any projects I posted and ask me any questions!
