Hello, World! ๐Ÿ‘‹ I'm Melvin.

I'm a Population Health Specialist turned Software Engineer with a passion for building solutions that make a difference. After years in health, I took a leap into the tech world with a full-stack bootcamp and haven't looked back since. Currently, I'm expanding my cybersecurity knowledge through a Google course, aiming to blend my health expertise with tech to innovate in population health technologies.

๐Ÿ”ญ Iโ€™m currently working on

  • A project that leverages AI to predict health trends within communities.
  • Enhancing my full-stack development skills with a focus on React and Node.js.
  • I've completed my cybersecurity course with Google's 6-month program and am now preparing for the CompTIA Security+ certification
