I am a Software Engineer who strives to provide useful tools to better the world around me. I started programming in middle school, starting with simple C++ programs and designing websites for hobbies of mine. During the week, I work full-time as a developer for a investment analytic software company and on weekends, I try to explore the world around me through hiking, festivals or going with friends to new places. When a weekend doesn't suffice, I strive to fly around the world, learning about diverse cultures and people.
An important factor for me in my career is that I want to know that what I work on is helping the world in some way. While I love attending festivals and having fun in down time, programming takes up a large portion of my day-to-day life, so I want to ensure it's something I can feel good about.
