About Me

Hola, soy Angelo

Software EngineerProduct DesignerDesign Engineer

Informatics @ IU Bloomington

I'm a designer and engineer who builds at the intersection of product and software. I care about how things look just as much as how they work.

Some of the technologies I've been working with are:

Python
Java
JavaScript
SQL

Outside of school, I lift and run. I also like to code and build projects on my own time. I'm also experimenting a lot with Blender, After Effects, Photoshop, and Illustrator. I'm really interested in finding ways to connect my design/creative ideas and use them in development.
