About me

a picture of myself

Hi! I'm Tony Isern. I love building things and the freedom that programming gives you. I graduated from New Jersey City University with a major in Computer Science and a minor in philosophy.

Web development is a space where things are constantly changing. Hell, a new JavaScript framework seems to come out every week! I love learning new technologies and new skills. I pride myself in my persistance and dedication to pursuing my goals. One thing I would like to do in the future is to teach others the things I am currently learning! Programming is also pretty fun! It's pretty cool the stuff you can build with just a computer and internet connection. I also interned at Google as a Software Engineer Intern in Summer 2024!

When I'm not coding, I'm usually reading, watching basketball, or playing a video game.
