When I was a 13-year-old little kid filled with wonder my uncle fostered my curiosity by introducing me to the world of web development. Albeit it was simple HTML and CSS coding at the time, but it sparked a burning passion in me for what these magnificent computers were capable of. It was exhilarating to tackle problems in ever-increasing difficulty and see what I had created from nothing. The joy that creating brought me pushed me to study books, websites, really whatever would provide me a bit more knowledge. With that knowledge, I was able to design cooler more effective solutions to a whole new set of problems.I decided that software development was going to be my future, and to gain more knowledge I attended Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) to study computer science. RIT was a unique experience because it went beyond your traditional schooling and required all students to have 1 year of experience working in the industry before graduation. This was an amazing opportunity because I was able to turn around what I had learned in class and apply it to real-world problems. This served to inspire me to continue my studies and pursue a master’s degree in computer science with a focus on data management.I've now worked several years developing software in the domains of finance, business management, data science focused on the energy sector, and higher education. Over the years I've been delighted to have designed solutions to problems that are impactful for end users. I'm continually excited by the rapid advancements in the industry, and the constant opportunity to tackle new challenges and learn something new.
