About

Thanks for stopping by. Read below to learn more about myself and my background.

Background

I am passionate about finding ways to leverage technology to develop solutions to real-world problems. I recently completed a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science at Iowa State University.

At Iowa State, in addition to being a student, I participated in a number of extracurricular activities. I held the role of Technology Sector Leader and Financial Sector Leader within the Iowa State Investment Group, a student ran club that manages a long-only equity portfolio. I was also a member of the Computer Science and Software Engineering (CSE) Club and the Wall Street Club, as well as a Computer Science Peer Mentor.

In my free time, I enjoy weighlifting, reading, hiking, playing real-time strategy and sandbox video games (my favorite is Supreme Commander), finding ways to improve, and working on personal programming projects.

I am looking for opportunities to apply my skills, drive and knowledge to help solve problems and create value.
