Hi! My name is Andres Lacayo, and I am a Computer Scientist from Nicaragua.
I Started my journey after graduating from High School with Honors and being accepted into the University of Notre Dame. Ever since then, I have grown more and more in love with programming, using it to bring my ideas to life. Feel free to connect with me for whatever reason, I am always happy to meet new people and take advantage of new opportunities!
