About Me

I'm a dedicated computer scientist with a strong foundation in both theoretical and practical aspects of computing. Having earned my Bachelor's degree from The University of Alabama and recently completing my Master's degree from Tulane University, I am excited to start a career in the industry.

So far, during my time at university, I have worked on avionics systems for NASA Student Launch rockets and worked on IT at Sterling Financial Services.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me competing in trivia/quiz bowl, playing board games and chess, or exploring VR.
