As a mining engineer turned software developer, the convergence between technology and industry has long piqued my interest. Now, as I pursue my studies in software engineering, I am looking forward to putting my talents and expertise from both sectors to work on new issues and developing innovative solutions.

As I continue my studies in software engineering, I am keen to further my knowledge and abilities in areas such as web development, mobile application development, AI and Machine Learning. I am dedicated to remaining current with the newest technologies and trends in the area, and I am passionate about leveraging technology to improve industries and communities.

Overall, I am a dedicated and innovative engineer and software developer, with a unique background and a passion for using technology to drive progress and innovation.
