About Me

From a young age, I have always obsessed over any and all technology. Whether it was a new phone, an ancient computer, or something unique like a Raspberry Pi, I had to get my hands on it. My most influential introduction to the world of Computer Science has been Scratch. The countless hours of tinkering and trying new things laid the foundation of my problem solving process.

During high school, I pushed myself through various dual-credit and AP courses to collect roughly twenty-five credit hours. Beyond coursework, I also founded a pickleball club, became a member of the National Honor Society, and played on the tennis team.

Going into college, I have pushed myself every year and have managed to put myself on track to obtain my bachelor's degree in just 3 years while dual-enrolled in graduate-level courses under the accelerated master's degree program. With this, I expect to graduate with my master's degree with just 1 extra year beyond my undergraduate years.

I joined the Sigma Chi Xi Xi chapter at the University of Missouri during my first year, which has proven to be such an amazing and unique experience. My favorite part of that experience is the emphasis on introspective practices, which I find myself continuously making use of. Professionally speaking, I held the House Manager position for a year and oversaw our chapter moving into our chapter house, helped configure and onboard members in a brand new billing software, and worked with countless alumni to ensure everything was completed in an efficient manner.

I have a multitude of different ideas, projects, and topics that I work on day-to-day, but more generally, I find myself continuing to learn about different cloud computing concepts, software security and cryptography concepts, and cloud network security practices, while dipping my toes in various different programming languages.

In terms of projects, the majority of my attention has been focused on different software meant to organize and increase my day-to-day productivity and efficiency. Improving quality of life when performing work has always been something I've honed in on when creating solutions that contain all the best features and none of the noise. It is my goal that I will have a deliverable application that solves many of the problems I find myself struggling to tackle under currently offered solutions before the end of my undergraduate career.

To balance my day-to-day, I find comfort in a handful of activities. I love staying active, especially through playing tennis, pickleball, and essentially any sport with a racket. Additionally, adventuring outdoors, hiking, walking trails, and generally connecting with nature have been a huge part of my life and continue to be some of my favorite activities.

I love watching movies and TV shows, but podcasts and music tend to be my absolute favorites.
