From my first Raspberry Pi project to my latest software project, I have always loved programming. Over the course of my undergraduate degree at UW-Madison, I have developed an ardent desire to utilize Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence to solve the world’s pressing problems.

Recently, my work has included the usage of Machine Learning and Deep Learning concepts to create Artificially Intelligent systems for the benefit of society.

I truly believe that these are only the first steps of my career and I am excited to find out what the future holds.
