About Me

Who I am

My name is Sawyer, and I'm a Software Engineer. I obtained my BS in Software Engineering from Cal State San Marcos where I helped run CSUSM's ACM and Cybersecurity Clubs. I learned a lot, met great people, and picked up a few wins at hackathons and competitions.

I build practical, secure products with the end user in mind. My current interests include Full-stack Development, AI, Networkingand Blockchain.

Software Engineering is my primary focus, but I also have supplementary skills in IT, Cybersecurity, Networking, Cloud Computing, AI, etc. I can pretty much do anything if it involves a computer and I have source documentation or an internet connection.

I enjoy sports, games, healthy competition, dabbling in the arts, and thinking about life.
