Hello!
My name is Ricky Botelho and I am pursuing a BS Degree in Computer Science at Roger Williams University. I am a diligent and driven individual who has successfully contributed to various projects of different programming languages such as Java, Python, C, and SQL throughout my academic career. I am from Fall River, Massachusetts, and some of my hobbies include sports, fitness, and gaming. I currently work part-time at a grocery store bringing in deliveries and stocking shelves. I hope to begin my professional career as either a programmer or front-end developer.
