I came from a non-traditional background in the tech industry. I am a music producer and received my AAAS degree in Music Technology. I still on the side do some music work due to high interest in music, especially in classical and rock genres. I also have about 10 years of experience now working in the civil engineering industry laboratory and support staff.
My interest in computer science initially started when Minecraft first came out (Alpha version and Beta 1.0!) and learned an early version of Java (Java SE6) to make my own mods with my older brother and buddies. During my time in college I decided to pivot from Computer Science and try out a couple of other industries. While creating my music production (under Comet of Dreams) website using WIX I decided it was a lot of fun and re-sparked my interest in coding. I wanted to learn the ins and outs of how a website and program works so that I can create and think of new projects to develop. I then decided that it was time to take online programming courses which scaled my interest in coding.
After graduating Coding Dojo's bootcamp, learning Flask/Python and MERN stacks, I started to build my network of computer programmers to develop problem-solving code. I also build a few projects and continued to learn more by solving problems. Soon after I learned Django on my own to help build some of my personal projects.
I obtained a new job as an employee at XetHub where we apply version control over large files like images and big datasets.
Currently building a blog site for my music production Comet of Dreams here's a link to the GitHub Account.
Django is a Python web framework.
MERN stands for MongoDB, Express, React, and Node which is soley JavaScript or even TypeScript web framework.
or
Flask is a Python web microframework for basic web applications.
Mainly Amazon Web Service Tools
These are also useful that I could use for web development in JavaScript.
These are mainly data analysis tools learned in Python.
- OOP
- Data Structures
- Algorithms

An application inspired by Apple's Reminders application as an online app to keep a todo list of tasks for each user. GitHub Repository | AWS Live Site - Currently Down
- Designed a scalable database schema built with MySQL to hold user input data including user and task information.
- Modularized the app with Flask to handle the server-database interaction and utilized Bootstrap to style HTML templates for enhanced user experience.
- Deployed application using AWS EC2 and S3 instance for others to use the application for their benefit.
A group project of developers where we built a fake social media app to test our skills for building a web application with Flask. GitHub Repository
- Collaborated remotely on a developer team with others.
- Owned the design of a scalable database schema built with MySQL to user input data including saving user registration, posts, and comment information.
- Modularized the app with Flask to handle the server-database interaction and engineered routes of the controllers for posts and users so that each web page will be routed to correct HTML templates.
As mentioned before, I am a music producer who goes by Comet of Dreams. In music I have an Associates Degree in Audio Engineering and a background in playing guitar, drums, and synthesizers to compuse my own music. I've fully produced 2 EPs currently on streaming services. Feel free to listen: Spotify | Apple Music | YouTube Music
I've also done other projects you can go to Portfolio Website and go under audio production to view more.
