I am a software engineer with experience working in PHP, JavaScript, Python, C, and other languages. I completed my undergraduate education at Tufts University, double majoring in Computer Science and Political Science and graduating magna cum laude in 2024 with a Bachelor of Science degree.

I am currently pursuing a Master of Science in Computer Science, also through Tufts. I will be graduating in May of 2025.
