About

I'm an undergraduate Computer Science student at Nova Southeastern University. I love getting stuck on a challenging problem; they're so rewarding to solve! Programming is just one of my many passions: avid reader, board-game collector, dedicated pianist. Follow me on on GitHub to see my latest crazy ideas!
