Hi, my name is Taylor Williams and I am a recent graduate of the University of Michigan-Dearborn, where I majored in computer and information science.

About Me!

• I graduated in April of 2024
• I've always been interested in computers, gaming, writing, and reading. I'm always up for learning new skills and growing myself as a person. I am creative but also practical, I was in theatre and marching band in high school.
• I would also definitely consider myself a fast learner!
• Computer Science background, most proficient in programming languages: C++ and Python
• I also have experience in other languages such as SQL/SQLite, Java/Javascript, Kotlin and HTML/CSS
• I have worked with Linux, and Ubuntu

So far I have worked with many software/coding applications such as...

• Microsoft Office + Excel + Powerpoint + Word

• Oracle + SqlDeveloper, for creating a database system

• Git/Github, for group collaborations

• Android Studio, building Android applications

• Enterprise Architecture, for creating different types of software models and diagrams

• Jenkins, a continuous software integration tool

• Bitvise SSH client and WinSCP, for working with different servers

• Eclispe IDE, for java implementation

• Docker, for working with different operating systems

• Oracle VM Virtualbox, for creating and implementing proxy servers to test security measures of different mobile applications
