Hello, World! 👋
I'm Alan Villagrand, an incoming software engineer at Citi. Skilled in C++, Rust, Java, and Python, with a strong foundation in networking, operating systems, and scalable software design. While my expertise lies in backend development, I also have experience in developing frontend applications, including this website!
In my free time, I enjoy taking on side projects that challenge me to learn something new. Whether that's experimenting with a new language, tinkering with hardware, or building tools that solve real problems, I'm always looking for opportunities to grow as an engineer.
