During 8th grade, I was introduced to a tool tangental to computer science but essential to any student's toolkit, a TI-84 graphing calculator. Ever since the first day of class, my Algebra 1 teacher professed the importance of being able to understand how to use our tools to the full extent and persuaded his students to read the TI-84 manual and encouraged us to learn how to program using the calculator. From creating simple apps such as the 22-counting math game, I fell into the rabbit hole of programming.

Fast forward to today, I am a last semester graduate student pursuing a Masters in Software Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. I have worked on creating a uniform front-end library at CrossBorder Solutions, creating proof of concepts and utilizing Single-Sign-On (SSO) capabilities on Microsoft Azure at Becton Dickinson, and deployed simple social networks and Service as a Product (SaaP) as class projects at Carnegie Mellon. I am currently working on a personal project called Hextech which aims to simulate item builds affect champions' damage in the game League of Legends.

If I am not working on school work or personal projects, I am usually pursuing my passion of photography, hanging out with friends, or on the Rift.
