Welcome to Daniel Scherzer's personal website. 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 continued at Tufts for graduate school, graduating in 2025 with a Master of Science in Computer Science degree.
