Hi, my name is Tony, and I am a highly ambitious, self-motivated, and tenacious software engineer
based in Atlanta, GA. After graduating from Georgia State University in 2022 with a BS in finance, I
started to realize that I pursued it only because it was a comfortable, safe choice. I had tested
out different majors, but I always ended up going back to finance. Around the time of the pandemic,
I began immersing myself in technology. Before I knew it, I was spending hours, then weeks, on
anything related to technology. I never had the opportunity to try software development because I
felt like I had spent too long in college and should just go straight into the workforce. However, I
was luckily introduced to a web development bootcamp held in Atlanta, and I immediately sent in my
application and was accepted. I am currently in the third month of the program, which is sponsored
by the City of Refuge and partnered with DigitalCrafts to train emerging technologists, including
myself, to break into tech. What I have learned from this program is that my true passion lies in
coding. Being able to bring your ideas to life and demonstrate them is fascinating. I always look
forward to creating and solving problems with the abilities I've learned, and I will continue to
improve in every way I can. One thing for sure about this field is that I love the constant
challenge and continuous learning.
Outside of programming, I have a wide range of hobbies and passions that keep me busy. I grew up
playing sports so I am a huge sportsfan (my favorite athlete is Lebron James, yes I know -- basic
but he's the GOAT). My favorite sports are basketball and volleyball. I love all kind of food so I
eat almost anything you put in front of me (unfortunately). I am very open-minded and be willing to
try anything outside of my comfort zone.
