Python

Python has been a core part of my programming toolkit since 2020-2021 when I first learned it in high school engineering classes. I've used Python extensively for web development with Django, machine learning, algorithms, cybersecurity coursework, and advanced programming projects.

Why I Love Python

Python's readability and extensive standard library make it perfect for rapid development. Whether I'm building a web application, analyzing data, or automating repetitive tasks, Python's "batteries included" philosophy means I can focus on solving problems rather than reinventing the wheel. The Django framework has been particularly powerful for building production-ready applications quickly.

Current Focus

• Machine learning with scikit-learn
