About Me

At my core, I don't feel fulfilled unless I am solving a puzzle or a problem. I found the best way to find that fulfillment is by continuously refining and adding onto my skillset to become the best software engineer I can be. Leveraging the knowledge of what I have gained in my career and academics along with the power of AI and prompt engineering, I am always learning something new to help me solve the puzzle at hand.

Achievements

Bachelor of Science

Rochester Institute of Technology

Originally going to RIT to explore a future in cyber security, I quickly found myself becoming more and more interested in software engineering, specifically in realm of backend development in web applications and linux systems. I found that getting my degree in Web and Mobile Computing would help to satisfy my curiosity in these subjects. After joining that major, I decided to specialize in web application development and database modeling and querying. I eventually became a TA for the intro to databases class, where I graded and tutored kids through there introduction to MySQL. Graduating from this institution was a huge accomplishment for me as the classes were academically rigorous and relatively unforgiving. Yet I was able to accomplish a GPA of 3.46 and even worked a few jobs during my time in school.


Hobbies & Interests

Growing up, I loved playing with raspberry pis and operating systems specifically. I would often delete and rebuild or reinstall my operating system on my computer on a weekly basis. At one point I had a triple boot setup with macOS, Windows, and Linux running on a single computer.

I also very much enjoy retro gaming. I have built an all in one arcade machine that I can use to play all the old retro games I have.

I am very interested still in cyber security. I am in the process of writing a document on an exploit I discovered on macOS using the infamous flipper zero.
