I started as a student technician at Kent State University in my Freshman year of college, gaining experience and insight in the realm of Networking. I then became an employee of the brand new Kent State Design Innovation Hub my junior year, while still working in the Networking department. I continued to work both jobs until I graduated in the Spring of 2022. While at the Design Innovation Hub I helped with multiple projects in the process of opening up the space including helping to design the first tour and orientation session as well as being the Student Lead for the Blank_Lab where I got to setup and run a 8 projector long, 270 degree AR/VR Lab. During college I also founded Trolder as an electronics education company to help teach people about soldering and how individual components work together. I entered multiple business pitch competitions where I won grants to create our first product. The Trolder Car Blinker Kit, which is on sale at Amazon now! After that Trolder pivoted to a more B2B style product where I am creating a mechanism that can help automate the Trading Card market by automatically loading and dispensing card orders. Improving on the current, manual process of having people search through boxes of cards for every order. I currently have a prototype built from the ground-up that can load and dispense 150 cards. I continue to work on this passion project in my free time while I work at my current Full-Time Job. In the summer before my senior year at Kent State I got to intern in the Networking Department at Progressive Insurance, afterwards I was offered a full-time position for after I graduated the following year. Following my Spring of 2022 graduation from Kent State, I started Full-Time in the NTOC Data Department at Progressive Insurance, helping to keep the network running 24/7/365.
