About Me

Hi! My name is Gabriel Novoa, and I’m a Computer Science major at the University of Houston–Downtown. I’m passionate about technology, learning new skills, and building real-world projects that reflect what I’ve learned.

Over the past few semesters, I’ve gained experience in Python and C++, and I’ve worked on projects such as an Employee Absence Management System, this resume website, and I’m currently working on a weather-based web app.

Outside of academics, I’m into gaming, anime, fitness, and financial literacy. I’m exploring software development, cybersecurity, and UI/UX. My goal is to build a career where I can be creative, solve problems, and grow fast.
