Who Am I?
Always Curious, Forever Learning
Hi, I'm Hayden Karas, a Computer Science major from Cranston, Rhode Island. I am currently doing freelance full-stack web development and applying to college as a senior in high school. I've always loved learning, from physics to technology to engineering, and began coding in fifth grade. I value my relationships more than anything else in the world, and try to learn something new every single day.
I am an excellent communicator, always ready to share my thoughts and ideas with others. I am also a great problem solver, always looking for the most simple and efficient solutions to problems. With this comes being a leader and listner, always ready to understand and respond to thoughts and ideas, as well as provide my own .
My Journey
Pursuing Growth and Knowledge
My journey into the world of technology began with a fascination for how things work and a relentless curiosity to dig deeper. Starting with the idea of creating Minecraft mods in third grade, I started with game development with scratch and then slowly learned new technologies, languages, and frameworks. Entering high school, I began entering technology classes and doing various projects. This resulted in entering the SkillsUSA game development competition, winning states two years in a row and placing top 10 nationally twice.
Aside from Game Development, I also explored full-stack web development through college courses and online courses like CS50x. I presented one of my earliest web projects at the University of Rhode Island's Computer Science Summit. I also was the captain of my school's math team throughout high school, competing there as well, learning advanced math topics as well as leadership and teamwork skills.
