+- My name is Avery. I'm a 22 year old aspiring software developer. I'm - from New Hampshire, and I'm currently a full time student studying - for my BS Computer Science degree. I'm passionate about all things - computers, especially programming, hardware, and open source - software. I've worked with Python the most, but have experience with - Javascript/Typescript, C++, Java, Rust, Lua/ - { - - Luau - - } - , C#, and GDScript (Godot). I love working with databases too, - primarily PostgreSQL. -
-- I've always loved technology. Ever since I first started using - computers at 7 years old, I was drawn to it more than anything. I - played Minecraft almost every day on my families iMac. Since then, - my passion for computers grew exponentially. I didn't just like - using them- I wanted to know how they worked and how the different - applications were made. I still remember being in elementary school - when the Hour of Code came to my school, and I tried 'coding' for - the first time. Needless to say, I remember staying on the website - even after it ended because I wanted to beat all the levels. When I - started middle school, I heard about computer classes you could - take. They mostly just taught computer competency skills, but - enjoyed it nonetheless. In 8th grade, I vividly remember writing - Windows Batch scripts for the first time. Then came the time to pick - my freshman year classes. The first one I added was Programming with - John Ranta. -
-- My first programming class was an intro to Python. We used Notepad++ - to edit our programs, and John showed us videos on{" "} - { - - PY4E. - - }{" "} - On most of my projects I would go above and beyond because I was - curious how I could make my program different. Before I knew it, I - found myself joining the Programming Club, along with some others at - my school like The Claw (our schools digital magazine). -
-- Throughout my years in high school, I took programming classes every - year/semester. Some of the things I learned include but aren't - limited to: Python & Pygame, some Rust, Javascript, and Java. Come - Sophomore year, I found myself getting involved in FIRST Robotics. I - found my calling there in a team environment- kids my age working - towards specific goals in a very collaborative setting. I stayed in - FIRST Robotics through covid and continued competing until I - graduated. In order to graduate though, I needed to complete my{" "} - senior project. - For that, I choose to take on a unique project: I made{" "} - { - - a VR game - - }{" "} - in the Godot Game engine using GDScript, a Pythonic-like language. -
-
- Come the Covid pandemic, everything stopped. I needed something to
- keep my hands busy, so I started a new Discord bot project, named
- EconomyX. I began writing this bot from the ground up using{" "}
- {
-
- discord.py
-
- }
- , all whilst maintaining (and slowly working on) my other bot
- fishy.py. I share a bit more of the bots specific's details on my
- portfolio page. That bot today has since amassed over 960 guilds
- with over a thousand different players.
- Fast foward to the end of high school, I eagerly started college
- which has allowed me to take a handful of more focused classes that
- have fostered my interests a lot.
-
- As I come close to graduating, I've been excited more than ever to - take my skills to the next level and entering the workforce. Additionally, I'm always looking to pick up - new skills, discover new tools, and learn new languages. -

+
+ Throughout my time at SNHU I worked on a variety of different projects- including full stack applications, mobile apps, Kubernetes clusters, games and more. After graduating, I started at BAE Systems as a Software Engineer, mainly working with C++ in embedded system environments. So far I've learned a ton and can't wait to continue learning and growing! I'm also working on a handful of hobby projects, which you can view on my portfolio. Thanks for reading about me! +

- Music has been a huge part of my life. I've always enjoyed listening
- to so many different genres, such as EDM in elementary school, emo
- rap/pop in Middle & High school, and alternative rock, shoegaze &
- more today. What first got me into music was when I played Minecraft
- for the first time- it's soundtrack, by{" "}
- C418, captivated me. The whole
- reason my parents gave me my first phone was so I could listen to
- his music. I still listen to it today.
-
-
- In elementary school, my parents signed me up for guitar lessons.
- Unfortunately, it didn't really stick. It wasn't until the summer of
- 2024 where I became drawn towards electric bass- primarily because
- of my love of Radiohead. Since then
- I've been taking lessons through my college and been having so much
- fun with learning it.
-
-
I also have been producing some music in Ableton Live,
- including a song I am working on for my CIS-206 Digital Music class.
- Due to time constraints, and my focus on my{" "}
-
- other projects
-
- , I haven't been able to work on it as much as I want to. I hope to
- release my first song by the start of my senior year of college.
