Software Engineer

Building the next generation of web and mobile experiences.

About

Three years ago, I was a Chemical Engineering student. Today, I'm a Software Engineering Intern at State Street, while completing both my B.S. in Computer Science and Chemical Engineering as well as my M.S. in Computer Science at Northeastern University.

I love creating practical tools and sharing them with the world. In my free time, I've released a mobile app for tracking Magic: The Gathering games, which is quickly approaching 1000 installs. I've also contributed to open-source projects like RMG-Py, a computational modeling software used and developed by researchers at MIT and Northeastern University.

Beyond coding, I'm an avid board gamer, reader, cyclist, and amateur chef, always seeking new challenges and experiences.
