About

I’m Tony, a full-stack developer, game developer, and artist based in Sierra Vista, Arizona. I’ve been fascinated by science and technology since I was a kid, curious about all the possibilities it opens up. The curiosity has shaped my journey throughout college and in everything I have built since.

I came to computer science a little later than most, and for a long time I assumed it wasn’t in the cards for me. But something stirred inside me, small spark of ‘what if’.

So, I went for it. Late nights fueled by caffeine and determination opened up a world of creation through code. That spark ignited and I began to make the Dean’s List, President’s List, and win scholarships. But it was never really about the recognition or honors. It’s as Richard Feynman once said, “I've already got the prize: the prize is the pleasure of finding the thing out, the kick in the discovery, the observation that other people use it. Those are the real things” (Feynman, 1999, p. 16). The reward for me was that exact moment, usually in the nocturnal hours, when a stubborn piece of code finally clicks.

You can say I have been chasing that feeling with most, if not everything, I build. I always try to push the envelope and try something new with each project. Because it’s all about the challenge and in each challenge I build up my storehouse of algorithms, data structures, architectures, and a special area for the ‘gotchas’.

So, if you’re looking for someone who treats challenging problems like an epic quest, I would love to talk.
