Get to know me!

Hi, my name is Kevin and I am a highly ambitious, self-motivated, and driven software engineer based in Atlanta, GA.

After graduating from the University of Georgia in 2017 with a BS in Biology (go dawgs!!), I began taking steps towards realizing my dream of becoming a Pediatrican. I started working in the Emergency Room as a medical scribe in order to gain some clinical exposure while studying for the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT), from which I made a natural progression and transitioned into a similar role working at a private Pediatric clinic.

As time passed (and March 2020 happened), my interest in programming continued to grow, and I decided to take a step towards pursuing a career in software engineering. I realized that my aspirations of becoming a healthcare professional were rooted in a deep desire to help others, and that I could have similar positive impact, if not more widespread, by creating helpful and accessible tools that enrich the lives of others. With my natural curiosity at an all-time high, I embarked on a personal journey to equip myself with the technical knowledge of a programmer.

I went wide, learning a little about a lot of things, not making significant progress into any particular area of the tech field. I realized that I needed some more accountability, and so began to seek structured learning. My research brought me to discover the City of Refuge and their Tech Transformation Academy, through which I received formal education from DigitalCrafts in the form of a 4-month long full stack web development program.

Since graduating in June 2023, I am eagerly pursuing a position where I can exercise my newly-acquired technical expertise and play my part in a team creating a product that touches the lives of many.

Outside of programming, I have a wide range of hobbies and passions that keep me busy. I love coffee, have recently rediscovered my love for reading, and enjoy spending quality time with my friends and family. I am always seeking new experiences and love to keep myself engaged and learning new things. I love coffee and am always down for a coffee chat.
