ABOUT ME

I am a Boston University graduate with a BA/MS dual-degree in Computer Science. Having always been surrounded by technology, I have an inherent curiosity of what powered everything behind it, which naturally led me to become interested in programming.
Being involved with computer science and the tech community allows me to explore and share new exciting technologies and tools alongside others with the same passions. The ability to continually be learning and pursuing more knowledge is at the core of my goal of supporting the discussion of ethics and consequences of advancing technology.
