Who am I?

About

I am a unior at the University Of Washington pursuing a BS in Informatics and a minor in mathematics. I am dedicated, passionate, and a self starter. Two summers ago, I taught myself JavaScript, Python, React, Node, Express, SQL, MongoDB, Git, SCRUM, Agile, NumPy, sci-kit-learn and more. This lead to a Tesla Software Engineering internship last summer.

Outside of tech and clubs, I love to backpack, snowboard, surf, mountain bike, write music, and watch sports.
