Engineer. Developer. Adventurer.
I go by Kendrick De La Pena and currently reside in Las Vegas, Nevada (Ne-VA-duh). Growing up in the battle born state, I am constantly progressing, both in and out of the tech world. Logical thinking and critical observation are my key skills.
I attained a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Las Vegas, Nevada, along with a Minor in Computer Science and Technology Commercialization. During my time at the university, I was also inducted into Tau Beta Pi Engineering (ΤΒΠ) Honor Society.
Outside of my tech interests, I enjoy traveling and live music as well as video gaming, photography, and rock climbing. These pursuits allow me to expand my perspective and exercise my creativity. Whether I am working a job or pursuing a hobby, my goal is to be at my best.
Languages, Libraries, Frameworks, and more!
The first language I learned, aside from HTML from the early MySpace days, was C++ through my university. Since then, I have picked up more languages and other helpful tools throughout my career.
