Welcome to my personal website! I am a recent Computer Science graduate from the University of Maryland, College Park. Combined with my passion for technology and programming, I am also an ambitious and creative person who is always looking for opportunities to learn and share new ideas with others.

Outside of work I enjoy reading, building computers, tinkering with electronics, hanging out with friends and playing piano. I am also a fan of all things Star Wars, Nintendo, DC Comics and Coldplay!
