Hey! I'm

Red Williams

student

I'm a student at Virginia Tech studying Software Systems with a minor in Computer Science, facing an expected graduation date of Winter 2025. I'm always seeking to learn from others and expand my skillset!

Essence

In addition to being a student, I prioritize continuous learning and a commitment. Outside of my academic responsibilities, I actively seek out new challenges and projects to expand my skill set. This proactive approach has allowed me to deepen my understanding and proficiency in areas such as Web Development using tools like Typescript and React, as well as Object-Oriented Programming with languages like Java and C#, and even UI design with Figma. Despite often being the sole developer on these projects, my familiarity with Git enables me to maintain scalable code and uphold good system design practices such as conventional commits and modular architecture. I am eager to leverage my knowledge and creativity in a professional, team-based setting.

Mentioned earlier in part, I am proficient and well-practiced in Javascript (ES6), Typescript, HTML5, CSS (including SCSS and SASS), React, Java, C#, and Python, and an increasing proficiency with C and C++. With this foundation, I was able to accomplish projects like the website for Shredquarters at VT and my 2D game Lost Cat Scared Cat.

As I continue to expand my knowledge and expertise in software development, I am increasingly drawn to the field of systems engineering. I am fascinated by the complex interplay of hardware and software components within large-scale systems and am eager to apply my programming skills to tackle intricate challenges in system design, optimization, and integration.
