About

Through my extensive experience as a gamer, specifically my decade-long engagement with League of Legends, I have developed an immense fascination with all facets of computing. The game's highly competitive environment and the continual need to acquire knowledge and skills every season have been instrumental in shaping my interest in the field. As a software engineer, I place significant emphasis on the importance of continuous learning and growth, and the famous maxim "The secret to mastery in any field is to forever be a student" attributed to Martin Palmer, serves as a guiding principle that resonates with me on a personal level.

While I initially had to take a brief hiatus from college due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I did not let this setback deter me from pursuing my passion for coding. My time at App Academy, which culminated in my graduation in March 2023, has allowed me to hone my expertise in Ruby on Rails and React-Redux, and I am excited to leverage these proficiencies in a professional setting.

I firmly believe that cultivating a balance of passion and coachability, along with effective communication, is the key to excelling as a software engineer. By embracing my passion for software development, continuously seeking knowledge, and remaining open to feedback, I can constantly enhance my skills and deliver high-quality results. Moreover, I recognize that effective communication is vital for collaborating with team members and stakeholders, ensuring the success of software engineering projects. With this mindset, I am confident in my ability to thrive in the dynamic and ever-evolving field of software engineering.

Leetcommit is a tool that connects a user's LeetCode and GitHub accounts and automatically commits their LeetCode solutions to a designated GitHub repository. The user first authenticates their GitHub account using GitHub OAuth and their LeetCode account using the CSRF token and session token. Once authenticated, Leetcommit uses GitHub Actions to sync the user's LeetCode solutions to their GitHub repository at regular intervals, with the current frequency set to every hour. This tool is intended to simplify the process of committing LeetCode solutions to GitHub and help users track their progress and development over time.
