About Me

Hi there, welcome to my personal portfolio! I am a rising junior at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden studying Computer Science with a data science specialization. I was about 10 years old when I fell in love with coding and have not looked back ever since. My favorite aspect of coding is the sheer joy of creating things and the never ending learning that comes along with it. You can always find ways to improve your craft, may that be through different languages, data structures, SOLID design principles, and more. This ultimately leads you to become a better programmer each day.

Outside of work and school, I am an outdoorsy and outgoing person who enjoys the company of friends, family, and individuals with similar interests. I am also a huge sports fan. I grew up playing basketball and tennis and can watch just about any sport (except baseball…please no baseball). I even use my skills in tennis to hold a summer tennis camp for kids every summer. This is something my brother and I started five years ago and it has been growing ever since.

As cliche as this sounds, I am a huge enthusiast for enjoying life and not taking it for granted. The fact that we are breathing on this world is already such a huge blessing, let alone everything else we have. Let's take a break from the little things in life and focus on what really matters.
