About
I've always had a love for creating and improving, whether it be physical electronics or software development, designing, testing, and failing was all apart of the joy of it. After taking on a brief Sidequest into the field of Classics and winning a National Championship, I commited myself to the challenge of software development, which has been so much fun!

Hackathons!
Starting in Highschool, I've attended 4 hackathons so far. These events have taught me a lot about problem-solving, collaboration, and teamwork, as well as how to best go from Idea to design to testing, then to failure, then back to design, which would eventually lead to the best version of our product!
