**Welcome! I am a full-stack developer currently looking for work in the United States. If you would like my résumé, please message me.** **Welcome! I am a full-stack software engineer currently looking for work in the United States, particularly in the New
York City area, or in the Upper Midwest (Madison, Milwaukee, Twin Cities, Chicago). If you would like my résumé, please
message me.**
I began my career as a classically-trained conductor and composer, and am transitioning to software development full-time. I love programming, learning new languages and frameworks, and developing interesting and exciting projects. I am currently beginning studies at the University of Wisconsin Madison in computer science.

full-time. I love programming, learning new languages and frameworks, and developing interesting and exciting projects.
I am finishing computer-science studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
My programming interests lie in programming languages themselves (including grammars, lexers, parsers, ASTs, compilation, transpilation, etc.), web and app development (full-stack, including Spring, Node, and React), programming tools and plugins (Gradle and IntelliJ plugins), and functional programming. I have limited experience with PHP, and am also interested in graphics/game programming, and systems programming in C/C++.

Overall, I aim to be highly versatile and adept at adopting new technologies. I seek every day to hone my craft and become a better developer. I enjoy the logical and linguistic nature of software, and that sweet feeling When Things Just Work™. I also enjoy the collaborative process of bringing new ideas and designs to life.
