Hello, my name is Owen Stanley. I am a rising third-year student at Marist University. Technology and photography have always been core components of my identity. I am driven by a love for understanding and iteration that extends throughout my code, photography, and all aspects of my life.

Being a self-taught developer has allowed me to explore nearly every part of the development process. From running multiple servers to automating Minecraft, I'm proud to say I've learned a lot. Although Java and Go are my strongest languages, I believe Kotlin is the most enjoyable language to work in. As fun as creating backend services and websites is, software infrastructure is what excites me most about my path forward ^{as of 5/20/2025}.

As a photographer, I try to capture the joy and special moments in life. Candids and event photography make me feel connected to our world.

Music has always been a big part of my life. It started with learning piano and bass, where I played in my school's jazz band. In high school I became the resident audio engineer for my school's theater program, where I learned how to mix live sound and record audio. My love for live music has brought me to many concerts, and I cherish each experience.
