About me

a picture of myself

Hi! I'm Tony Isern. I love building things and the freedom that programming gives you. I'm currently studying at New Jersey City University with a major in Computer Science as a junior.

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'm planning on applying for internships this summer of 2024 to get more experience from more senior developers. Currently learning more about Data Structures and Algorithms.

When I'm not coding, I'm usually reading, browsing Reddit, eating lots of food, or reading my favorite manga, One Piece!
