Who I am.
Hello, I'm John Bettencourt, a software engineer and dedicated professional currently working in a creative role within a large church. I find immense joy in being a part of creating things that are useful and meaningful to people.

Core Values and Beliefs:
At the core of who I am, I value my family and the relationships I have with my friends. My Christian faith has always been a foundational aspect of my life, guiding my decisions and actions. Now, as I embark on a new career path, I am driven by the desire to provide for my growing family and build a fulfilling life.

Personal Journey
From a young age, I felt a deep passion for software engineering. I started learning Python on my parents' old computer when I was just 12 years old. In college, I followed my calling to work in full-time ministry, which has been an invaluable experience. However, my passion for software engineering has remained constant, and I am now pursuing a career that aligns with my interests and allows me to leverage my skills and creativity.

Passions:
My journey as a software engineer is complemented by my expertise in lighting design, where I combine creative vision with technical skills to create impactful visual experiences. These roles underline my passion for merging technology with artistic expression. Off the clock, I treasure my time with my wife and our daughter, who inspire me daily to build a prosperous and stable future for our family.
