Aspiring Computer Scientist

I grew up in Lombard, Illinois, about an hour from Chicago. As a kid, I loved playing soccer and video games like Counter-Strike. In high school, I discovered my interest in tennis and developed a passion for coding and computers. After competing at the national level in tennis for the College of Dupage, I moved to Texas in 2022 to pursue my studies at Austin College. I graduated in 2024 with a bachelor's degree in computer science.
