About Me
I'm a fourth-year Computer Science student (AI & Software Engineering focus) and Data Science major who loves building things. I'm a fast, curiosity-driven programmer who takes ownership of my work and genuinely enjoys the process of creating.
I proudly describe myself as a nerd for this stuff, I spend my free time learning about new technologies and am always looking to learn. In addition to SWE, I am on the SU Track & Field team as a thrower, absolutely love Slay the Spire, and my favorite dog are Corgis (big dog guy).
Feel free to send me an email or connect with me on LinkedIn if you want to chat or collaborate on something cool!
