Hi, I'm Blake. Welcome to my portfolio website! I'm passionate about building powerful websites and applications.
I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in computer science from Georgia Tech in December 2024 with threads in Systems & Architecture and Information Internetworks, which basically means that my specialty is in the inner workings of computers and in how devices communicate with each other.
Throughout my educational journey, I've gathered experience that has allowed me to grow as a life-long learner and as an effective developer. I have had the opportunity to build software for a MAANG company, and to gain expertise with the tools and technologies that are necessary for successful software development. This rewarding experience has led me to challenge myself through a variety of personal endeavors, growing at every opportunity.
In my free time, I enjoy coding, building projects, and learning new technologies. I also love to play video games, watch movies, and spend time with my friends and family. I'm always looking for new opportunities to learn and grow, so if you have any questions or would like to connect, feel free to reach out!
