Open to full-time roles starting in January 2027

Hey, I'm Gabriel.

I'm a software developer at Melaleuca and an Information Systems student at BYU, graduating in December 2026. I enjoy building dashboards and automation that save people time, and I care just as much about the people I work with as the code I write.
