About Me
Hey everyone, I'm a junior studying Computer Science at Purdue University, with a minor in Economics. I was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, but I've lived in Silicon Valley for most of my life. My interest in programming began in my freshman year of high school, and has continued to grow ever since. I've learned many different programming languages, and have applied my knowledge to internships and a variety of side projects.
