About Me

A senior pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science with a minor in Creative Writing at the University of Pittsburgh. Upon graduation in April 2025, I'm hoping to secure a full-time software/cloud engineer position. I'm interested in roles that will require a combination of my skills in communication/writing and software development/cloud architecture. Above all else, I want to develop products that improves the lives of others.

My interest in computers started as young as I can remember. I've always been fascinated by the endless possibilities technology provides. To me, coding is just another form of art. A blank canvas on which I can paint any idea. My knack for creative writing, bleeds into every project through my detail-oriented work and unique vision.

In my free time, I try to get away from screens. Whether it be hiking, fishing, or sports, I always find an excuse to get outdoors. I also enjoy writing poetry and short stories, reading books, and listening to a variety of music.
