About me
Hi, I'm Christopher, a software engineer with over five years of experience in web-based learning and financial applications. In 2021, I earned my Bachelor's degree in Information Technology from the University of the Commonwealth Caribbean and I am currently pursing my Master of Computer Science from the Arizona State University with an expected graduation date of December 2025.
I enjoy working with frameworks like .Net Core, React.js, Node.js, TypeScript, and Angular. I'm also certified in scrum fundamentals for project management.
In my spare time, I freelance as a web developer and have built websites for many clients. I also have a YouTube channel where I share my passion for 3D video game development using Unity and Blender. I love diving into 3D character modeling in Blender and creating games in Unity.
Thanks for getting to know me!
