About Me

I am a Computer Scientist from Baltimore, Maryland. I studied at Virginia Tech with a focus on Human-Computer Interaction. In my day to day I work as a Full-Stack Software Developer.

Goals

Beyond my work in software development, I have a passion for 3D Computer Graphics Programming. I'm fascinated by the intersection of art and technology. In particular, the areas of efficient rendering and animation. I love exploring ways to bring virtual worlds to life.

My ultimate goal is to combine my knowledge and experience in Software Development with my passion for Computer Graphics.

My Setup

I do most of my programming on my M2 Macbook Air. I also work on an Ubuntu Linux Desktop with a RTX 4090 for my research. Visual Studio Code is my preferred editor for writing C, C++, and JS/HTML/CSS. I use IntelliJ for coding in Java and Rust, as well as Pycharm for Python. For my dark mode theme I use One Dark Pro and for light I use Solarized Espresso Soda.

Fun Facts

When I am not working or coding, I am either playing golf, playing Destiny 2, or hanging out with friends & family. My favorite genre of music is country and my favorite food is BBQ.
