Mert Agirgun
Mesa
Summary
I have been a competitive athlete for most of my life and have trained and competed in triathlons for 7+ years in Turkey on a local, state and national level. I have earned multiple national titles and have served my community as a coach for both younger and older triathletes. I have also been playing guitar professionally for 10+ years, performing live on stage with other bands in many different settings, both as a job and as a hobby.
More recently, I have been very interested in the technology field of AI, coding and software engineering. I have completed an "Intro to Basic Python" course online and plan to continue my education.
My experiences have shaped me into the person I am today. I am hardworking, disciplined, self-motivated, self-taught, solution-oriented, and a quick learner, constantly looking to improve myself and my skills in any way that I can.
