A bit about me:
I'm a Pizza Blackhole: I can't help it, if I
see a box, I won't rest until that box has nothing but the pizza saver.
If I may say so
myself, I'm Diligent and strive for continual education:
I could say, I always prefer focusing on functionality before aesthetics. I like
focusing designs around usefulness, efficiency, and user-friendliness, rather than
designs that are simply pleasing to the eye.
Problem Solving problems are my kind of problems:
I really enjoy figuring out problems, solutions appreciated by other individuals bring
me satisfaction and confidence.
