About Me

Thanks for checking out my portfolio site!

I'm from a small town right outside of Philadelphia, and now am in Baltimore studying Computer Science at Johns Hopkins University. From a very young age, I've always had a fascination with technology. I loved playing around with the Raspberry Pi, and I found a passion for coding through exploring Game Development with the Unity Game Engine. It didn't take me long to realize that I wanted to pursue Computer Science in the future, and I've always kept myself busy with multifaceted projects.

These days, I contribute to a lot of different projects, both through school and freelance work. I'm always eager to become more involved, so if you're ever interested in a project please feel free to reach out to me via the contact form. Thank you again for checking out my website!
