I've worked with various programming languages, including MATLAB and Ada, enough to adapt to other languages. Lately, I've been focused on three Python apps. This particular app is for my thesis.
It started when I got my first graduate assistantship teaching a lab for Microsoft Office 2013. I taught that lab for 2 years with PowerPoints I designed. I also taught 7th grade math remotely for Sycamore Academy (TX). Moreover, both of my parents are full-time teachers ranging from grade school to college.
After survival, I believe helping others is key to living. I’ve helped out various organizations during high school and college. Currently, I help out my family and their church’s community. Check out the Volunteering sections on this website and on my LinkedIn page. I made this logo for the Facebook and YouTube pages of my family's church.
You never know if an ordinary moment in time turns out to be an extraordinary portrait of life. This is a life-long passion, especially nature photography. Highlights can be found on Instagram, and I used Flickr until they changed. This picture was taken in the Campamento Adventista Elias Burgos in Utuado, PR.
"Symphony Atrium" is a working album of original music with MuseScore (originally on Noteflight), including classical and jazz genres. This album will be published in MuseScore. Some music is also being done for "The Sagaology Series." I’ve also played the violin frequently during my childhood, and have a knack for hearing the musical note of a sound.
I have experience with editing pictures and using fonts on GIMP for visual design. I've also handled GIFs and PDFs on GIMP, and am planning to learn Photoshop when I can. I'm also an avid maze drawer. My skills in graphic design should be apparent with the photos around this website, but this gallery shows stuff I've done in my spare time. This Polybius project produced wallpapers for my phone and iPad (before iOS 17).
Much of what I can share is from my early days, including video and audio editing. This particular video was done in 4 hours the night before I showed it to my family’s church. Click on this link to go to the gallery, then click the same photo as this one, then click the link there to find the video. Fun, right?
I love a good meme (and a good museum). I've collected a lot of memes over time from social media, so what better way to share my collections than on my website? This link leads to a gallery of collections separated by year.
That's my pen name for when I want to be anonymous online. If you've reached this far in the website, then it’s ok to know both identities. I favor racing, space, and puzzle games over fighting or shooting games. However, I have a history with Minecraft, Super Smash Bros, Brawlhalla, and Lumosity. Plus, I'm not only occupied with actual work and writing, but I have more than enough games that prevent me from getting new ones. So I'm happy with what I have.
The Sagaology Series
An original upcoming sci-fi series with a side of fan fiction.
