I studied and graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor's of Science in Computer Science at the University of South Carolina. I have primarily worked as a lead developer at a Los Angeles based startup following my time at university and have gained a strong understanding of software development pipelines, full stack engineering, and early-stage management. My passion lies in understanding and exploring emerging technologies, and I relish any and all opportunities to grow as an engineer by working with cutting-edge software. I have a deep interest in artificial intelligence and I enjoy diving into the intricacies of neural network architectures and understanding how emerging technologies in the space can be applied to solve real-world problems. My enthusiasm for AI drives me to continually learn and stay updated with the latest advancements, allowing me to incorporate cutting-edge techniques into my projects and contribute to innovative solutions.Additionally, I have recently received my CompTIA Security+ certification, as I have always had a profound interest in understanding and defending against cyber threats. I believe cyber attacks to be one of the most pressing and concerning issues in the technology sector, and this intrigue has led me to stay updated concerning emerging threats, vulnerabilities, and actors.
