About Me

I am currently enrolled at the University College of London (UCL) for a Masters of Science in Software Systems Engineering.

Previously, I worked as a Software Engineer at Creative Juice.

Education and Research

I graduated from the University of Utah in 2022 with a Bachelor's in Computer Science with a minor in Mathematics. I worked with Dr. Chris Myers at the Genetic Logic Lab during my undergraduate studies. My focuses included large scale genetic data repositories and search methods for genetic sequences.
