About Me

Hi, I’m Mason — a passionate developer and creative thinker graduating from Kansas State University in May 2025 with a degree in Integrated Computer Science and a minor in Graphic Design.

Currently, I work as an IT Helpdesk Support Specialist for the College of Veterinary Medicine at K-State, where I assist faculty, staff, and students with technical issues ranging from hardware troubleshooting to software installations and system maintenance. This role has helped me sharpen my problem-solving skills and grow comfortable supporting a wide variety of users.

My academic and professional journey has been focused on blending design thinking with technical expertise. I enjoy working across the full stack, building web applications that are both functional and visually engaging. My background in graphic design also gives me an eye for clean UI/UX design.

Outside of tech, I’m big on health and fitness — whether it’s hitting the gym, working out, or just staying active. It’s a great way for me to recharge and stay focused. I'm always looking for ways to grow, both professionally and personally, and I’m excited about where this journey in tech will take me.
