I'm Christian, 👋

/**

With great pride, I can say that I was born and raised in the vibrant city of NYC. While my formative years were spent immersed in the bustling metropolis, I eventually ventured to Florida to pursue my education. However, destiny had a different plan, as I found myself drawn back to the enchanting allure of NYC for my initial professional endeavors. Yet, life's unpredictable journey led me to a new chapter, and today, I proudly call the golden coast my home.
