About Me

Hi! I'm a Computer Science graduate from the Columbia University School of Engineering. I first learned about coding in a middle school JavaScript class. We learned how to animate objects, and let's just say I was immediately intrigued.

I decided to pursue computer science in high school and that's when I learned that there was so much more to coding than animation. I learned that I could use CS to help people in almost any industry. As a result, I majored in Computer Science, focusing mainly on backend development but also learning frontend and database skills.

Currently, I'm seeking a full-time Software Engineering job in which I can have a real impact and help make people's lives easier.
