About Me
I describe myself as someone who is passionate about learning and trying new things, while also not being afraid to inquire about things I don't understand. I am excited to continue my career in software engineering and make a positive impact on the world. I grew up playing sports my whole life such as basketball, soccer, and golf, which has helped me become a great leader and teammate. I aspire to travel and see as much of the world, and try new experiences around the world!

Education
University of Wisconsin-Madison
Bachelors in Computer Science •May 2020
I started college pursuing a degree in biomedical engineering, but switched to computer science my second semester of sophomore year. I took the Intro to Java course and fell in love with the idea of being able to create, design, and build out my ideas through code. I found the career that I wanted to pursue, but am still looking to find which direction I want to take in the field. I took a wide variety of classes ranging from backend to frontend development, algorithms, and networks.

Groupomania
A reddit like forum built where users can create meme posts, like them, and know which ones they've already seen. The APIs most likely won't work since I haven't gotten the paid version to host. This link will take you to a login, but a home screen is just index route of the url.
