A Little About ME

My journey into becoming a software engineer started as a fascination with computers as a kid. However, my fascination wasn’t rooted in code initially, but in something far more shallow: I knew my way around the keyboard πŸ€ͺ. I flourished in all of my computer classes throughout my grade school tenure, so I knew I wanted to pursue a career in computers. Fast forward to me arriving at Georgia State University, where I realized that being an engineer required a hell of a lot more than a fast typing speed. From tinkering with basic programs to developing complex web apps, it didn't take me long to develop an affinity for programming.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege to work on diverse projects, each unique and demanding in their own right. They’ve tested my skills, forced me to think outside of the box, and ultimately, shaped me into the versatile, confident engineer I am today. Being a software engineer is more than a profession for me - it’s a craft, a creative outlet, a platform for innovation, and most importantly, a skill that I am striving to master. As I continue on this path, I look forward to every challenge and learning opportunity that comes my way.

Fun fact: My first name is also my wife Wilma's last name (except her last name is spelt with two Ts). When we tied the knot in 2021, she hyphenated her last name to be Wilma Elliott-Hannah. Pretty cool, right?
