About Me
Hi! I am an undergraduate Computer Science major in my third year at Drexel University. I am also pursuing a minor in Electrical Engineering. I am highly motivated and I have good problem solving and critical thinking skills. I am very good at math and programming, and I tutor in Math, Physics, and Computer Science. I am proficient in Python, Java, JavaScript, PHP, HTML and CSS. Also, I was the President of my High School's Robotics club, where I designed, built, and programmed VEX robots, as well as led my teams through numerous competitions at the regional and state level.
In my free time I love hiking and exploring the outdoors, reading fun facts about math and science, playing video games on my Nintendo Switch, and watching television, mostly superhero shows and cartoons. I love learning new things, and am always working on projects or building something new. Some of my favorite projects include my model arc reactor and my 3D-printed human-sized Lego lightsaber hilt.
Skills
Here are some languages I feel proficient in from high school and college classes, work experience, and personal projects. I have so much more let to learn in these languages, but these bars indicate how comfortable I feel creating and mainting code in the following languages.
