About Me 👤

Hi there! I'm Alex, a tech enthusiast with a passion for AI, web development, and IT. I'm currently diving deep into web development projects and honing my IT troubleshooting skills, all while learning the latest industry standards.

My journey started in college, where a leap of faith into computer science led to a rewarding role at my university's IT help desk. This hands-on experience solidified my career path and expanded my professional horizons.

When I'm not coding or troubleshooting, I enjoy:

  • Exploring new AI technologies
  • Working on web development side projects
  • Gaming on my custom-built rig
  • Staying up-to-date with the latest tech trends

I'm a self-starter who's always eager to take on new challenges and learn from every experience. Currently, I'm excited about combining my love for web development with real-world applications, like building websites for local businesses.
