About Me
Hi, I’m Jose Ramirez. I am a Boston University graduate currently based in Allentown, PA, with plans to relocate to New York City. While much of my professional experience has been dedicated to crafting front-end web designs, my true technical passion lies closer to the metal. I am deeply interested in low-level systems programming and enjoy the challenge of building efficient, high-performance software using languages like C and Zig.
