Bio
I am currently working on a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from UMASS Lowell. There I am fortunate to work in the Engaging Computing Group as a web developer and undergrad research assistant. Most of my experience is with JavaScript (ES6) but I am working hard on improving my skills in Kotlin and Python. I am fairly language agnostic and dabble in many languages.
Away from the computer, I enjoy hikes with my dog and playing tennis. The driving range is one of my favorite ways to blow off steam. I also really love cooking and get a lot of enjoyment cooking for friends and family.

SIGSCE - 2019
ECG's paper detailing the implementation and design of MYR was accepted for the 50th anniversary conference for the SIGCSE.
After a summer internship, I was hired by BluBØX as a support services specialist. I was chiefly responsible for building and maintaining the knowledge base. This helped me gain experience with the front-end and JavaScript. As time went on my role with the engineering team grew. It was a great opportunity and introduced me to C#, the .NET stack and SQLServer.
