Hi, I am Dakota Ponder.
A Full-Stack Developer.
Hello! I'm Dakota Ponder, a computer science student at Middle Tennessee State University. Before my academic journey, I served four years in the Marine Corps as a SATCOM operator, rising to the rank of Sergeant. This unique blend of military discipline and technological passion drives me both in my studies and my personal quest for continuous learning and growth. Whether you're keen on collaborating or just chatting about tech and experiences, I'm always eager to connect.
