About
Born and raised in Dallas, Texas. A Texas native adopted by the Midwest by way of Iowa, I have learned to navigate the best of both worlds, the unbearable Texas Sun and the bone-chilling windy winters in Iowa.
Recently received my B.S.E in Computer Science and Computer Engineering from the University of Iowa. Passionate about everything computers, I pride myself on the technical skills and experiences I have gained during my time at Iowa. Embedded Systems is an honorable course that greatly challenged my skills and reinforced my interests and passions by bridging concepts between computer science and computer engineering. With this, I'm always excited to demonstate my skills and find creative ways to contribute to environments where I can foster growth for not only myself but my peers as well.
