If you know me, you know that when I'm passionate about something, I don't stop until I meet my objective. Whether its writing quality code, organizing and promoting large-scale events, or learning how to win at chess, I get results. I try to live every day to the fullest, which means improving myself in any way I can and getting out of my comfort zone. I love learning about the world and the people and places on it, and I hope I can have experiences that can help me do that more.
Worked in an agile team to build a web-app that converts thousands of email messages to texts every day. Our system has over 2,000 active users, and that's growing every day. We use Django to build the web app, AWS to host our service, Selenium Grid to coordinate everything, and Docker to keep everything simple. Check out our website here
Created web app that lets users get their feet wet with cryptocurrency before going out into the real world and losing money. Allows users to buy and sell, and trade coins as well as view portfolio against market trends. While the site is not up, the repo can be found here.
Created device drivers that get read data from the satellite and turn it into something our team can actually use. I followed hardware documentation to write C++ code which was integrated into our GLADOS and LINKSAT systems.
I am an advocate for over thirty clubs at U.B. I make sure that every club in my council has everything they need to be as successful as possible. From Chess Club to Outdoor Adventure Club, Hobby Council represents a diverse range of interests shared by extremely passionate people.

I hope to learn as many languages as possible over the course of my lifetime. I am currently learning French and Dutch. I have taken courses in French for almost 10 years, and its amazing how much better I've gotten over the years. In the Summer of 2018 I had the amazing opportunity to spend two weeks on a french farm near the Rhone river, where I stayed with a host family who didn't speak any english.
I have always been interested in cities and all the awesome things that come with them. Every city, no matter the size, has amazing architecture, food, culture, and history. Although I've been to Amsterdam, Paris, NY, Montreal, and Toronto, Buffalo and Albany still have a special place in my heart. One day I hope to get involved in city government and have a first-hand role in improving the community I live in.
