Education

B.S. Computer Science & Minor in Data Science

Ever since I was a kid, my passion for computers started with a deep-seated love for video games. The thrill of downloading Minecraft mods was more than just a boost to my gaming adventures; it was a gateway that piqued my interest in the mechanics operating beneath the surface. This initial dive into computing didn't just fuel hours of entertainment—it transformed a casual pastime into a profound interest in computer science. That initial spark, along with the exhilaration of uncovering new knowledge, has been the driving force behind my ongoing eagerness to learn and create within the world of modern technology.
