About Me

I've been programming for almost a decade now. Starting in high school, I've always thought programming was a great blend of creativity and logical thinking. Through my college education in Computer and Data Science at NYU and my hands-on experiences, I've laid a solid foundation in software development.

Outside of programming, I have a passion for music and people. I enjoy exploring different music genres and meeting new people whether it be from work or my other hobbies like climbing, cooking, and hiking.
