ABOUT ME
Hi! Welcome to this little space about me :)
I'm Haylie, an aspiring software developer with a passion for creating elegant solutions to complex problems. When I'm not coding, you can find me exploring new technologies, admiring nature's beauty, or enjoying a vanilla latte while reading the latest fantasy novel.
My journey in software development started with a curiosity about how things work, and that curiosity has only grown stronger with each project I undertake.
