My greatest passions in life are programming and health. Problem-solving has always been my forte, coding provides the creative outlet with which I can take advantage of this skill. 

Notable projects thus far include:
- Created a fully functional media app that integrated with google cloud storage.
- Getting an internship at RECUR, a company specializing in NFT and blockchain technologies
 - Winning a hackathon (BitHacks) AI project (I received 1000$ in credits for debugging software called Bugsee and a free online SAT tutoring subscription which I gave to my younger brother)
- Winning a programming competition from the Colorado School of Mines. 
- I have integrated stock trading APIs into multiple programs that, through a combination of AI and useful indicators, trades at a profit the majority of the time. In the past two weeks since I started using this code, I have already made a 240% return on a multi-thousand dollar investment.
- A website that aggregates data across amazon to create a feed of discounted items based off of your interests.
-  A Program that finds the best boggle (a game like boggle but more complex) words on any given board. 
- QLeaning-based game of snake in which the snake learned to avoid the walls and collects apples through many itterations
- AI rock paper scissors app that found patterns in the users inputs in order to win 7% of the time more than random. 

Professional standards:
