Hello, I'm Laurand.
Software Engineer / Web Developer / UI & UX / iOS & Android Developer
I began building software and mobile applications more than 10 years ago, and created this website in 2017 while studying Web Development and JavaScript at the University of Washington in Seattle. It started as a place to share what I was learning, teach practical programming concepts, and demonstrate my projects. My education includes a Master of Science in Computer Engineering from San Diego State University, a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from California State University, Monterey Bay, and an Associate of Science in Computer Science from Yuba College. Today, I continue working with software engineering, C++, professional websites, mobile apps for iOS and Android, user interface design, and technology in operations. I am especially interested in how artificial intelligence and machine learning can help people develop useful software and improve everyday workflows. I have kept my original tutorials, screenshots, videos, and recorded dates to show how my learning and work have developed over the years.

Website Purpose.
This site began in 2017 as a collection of hands-on programming lessons while I was studying web development at the University of Washington in Seattle. It now also highlights my education, professional experience, websites, mobile applications, and interests in AI and machine learning. The older lessons and their original media are preserved as a record of how my work has evolved.
