I am passionate about computers, software, and how they work together. I have a strong academic background and completed the Clarkson School, which is an early college program for high school seniors. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Engineering with minors in Software Engineering and Mathematics receiving the Presidential Scholar Award every single semester. I possess strong communication skills and the ability to work with others, contributing to open-source projects using my skills in Python, Git, and Docker, as well as working on multiple personal projects.
