Hi, I’m Brandon Garate. I’m a Fullstack Software Developer, and student majoring in Computer Science with a Minor in Mathematics @ SDSU. My specialty is in building Fullstack applications. My purpose is to build clean and lightweight servers with a sleek UI's. Clean code is something I take very, very seriously.

I'm currently hacking as a Fullstack Developer at CoTeX.md, where I'm responsible for building the backend and frontend of the application.

When I'm not coding, I'm helping students learn at Code Ninjas. On the side, I love teaching STEM to young students. I even wrote some research on it.
