👋 Hey there, I’m Dylan! I’m a computer science student with a background that’s anything but one-dimensional. Before diving into tech, I spent years working in fast-paced environments — from fast food to managing a bar and gaming room — where I learned the value of clear communication, adaptability, and problem-solving under pressure. Those experiences shaped how I approach technology today: practical, people-focused, and always looking for efficient solutions that make real-life tasks easier.

💡 What I’m Working On Right now? I’m studying computer science and building my skills through hands-on projects. I’ve worked on everything from Python data tracking tools and Bayesian analysis simulations, to network setups in Cisco Packet Tracer, and even tinkered with 3D printing optimization. I love experimenting, troubleshooting, and learning how small technical changes can make big differences in performance.

🌐 My Interests Outside of code, I’m passionate about user-centered design and human-computer interaction (HCI) — figuring out how technology can be made more intuitive for everyone. I’ve even worked on redesigning QR code ordering systems to make them more accessible for elderly users and those with dexterity challenges. I’m also drawn to entrepreneurial projects, like micro-SaaS ideas that mix creativity and functionality — one of my recent concepts involved generating custom AI images and turning them into stickers through an automated print-and-ship workflow.

⚙️ My Mindset I’m a big believer in learning by doing. Whether it’s fine-tuning slicer settings for a perfect print, setting up a secure network with proper subnets and firewalls, or building a small app from scratch, I like to understand the why behind every decision. Technology moves fast, but my goal is simple — to keep building, experimenting, and improving with every project I take on.
