About me

Hello, I'm Colston 👋. A Computer Science Student 📖 / React & Android Developer 👨‍💻. My journey as an aspiring developer began at a very young age, during my first year of junior high school, where I learned to write simple scripts using Visual Basic. In my senior years of high school, I started taking programming seriously and became a self-taught Web Developer.

I also tried Game Development, but eventually, I got really into creating mobile apps, which became my primary area of expertise. I am proficient with technologies such as React, Next.js, React Native, Expo, Firebase, and Laravel. I am currently seeking for an internship or a full-time position as a Web or Mobile Developer.

When I'm not coding, I enjoy playing video games, watching movies, and going out for long walks. I also enjoy learning new things. I am currently learning about Machine Learning, Data Science, and Cybersecurity through CTF challenges.
