Hello! I'm Chaliana
Currently a Software Engineering Undergraduate Student at the University of Puerto Rico in Mayagüez. I'm looking for experiences in the industry of Software Engineering that will help me grow as a professional and expand my skill set to solve problems through the design and creation of Software Applications. I have worked in the areas of Video Game Development, Simulation, Mobile and Desktop Application Development.
When I finish my studies I want to work in the Video Game development industry and later work on my own independent games writing my own stories. My hobbies include Creative Writing, watching Movies, playing Video Games, and learning new programming skills.
Feel free to contact me through my email! :)
