Parker Hewitt
About
Hi! My name is Parker, and I'm a software developer with a passion for solving complex problems. I'm currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at the University of Lethbridge. I have a strong foundation in Java, HTML/CSS, and JavaScript, with hands-on experience from my previous studies at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology.
In addition to software development, you can find me exploring the latest tech trends, gaming, or binging my favorite TV shows. I'm currently seeking full-time software development opportunities for 2024/2025, where I can apply my skills and continue to grow as a developer.
