Hello! 👋
My name is Joshua Glaspey. I am a developer, a student, but most of all, a learner.
I graduated as a Computer Engineer.
Burnett's Honors College at University of Central Florida.
I completed a Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering with a minor in Mathematics in May 2024. It all started with a passion of understanding the fundamentals of how computers operate in high school. Since then, I have worked with UI design, full stack web development, and video game creation.
