About Me
School
I’m a third-year Computer Science (CIS) major at UMass Dartmouth. I chose this field because I’ve always been curious about how technology works, from software to hardware, and I love solving complex problems. The blend of theory and hands-on learning in computer science helps me stay excited about future innovations.
Aspirations
My dream is to work in software development or technology product management—ideally at companies that value creativity and problem-solving, like Whatnot. I’m also passionate about sustainability and want to use my skills to make a difference, either by developing efficient tech solutions or contributing to the repair community.
Skills
- Programming: Proficient in Java, C, and Assembly.
- Troubleshooting & Debugging: Identifying issues quickly and efficiently in code.
- Keyboard Shortcut Infographics: I created two infographics—one for beginners and one for advanced users—to help others use computers more efficiently.
- Teamwork & Leadership: I’m actively involved in the Chi Phi fraternity, which emphasizes tradition, leadership, and service.
Projects & Accomplishments
I’ve built small software projects, whether it be for a game or other lab work. I’ve also developed infographics for keyboard shortcuts to assist new and experienced users in becoming more efficient with their devices.
Repair Experience
While I don’t have extensive repair experience yet, I’ve successfully swapped out RAM and hard drives on personal devices. I’m eager to learn more about phone screen repairs and console maintenance to broaden my skills. I've also done basic troubleshooting of software problems for my friends.
Accolades
- Dean’s List for multiple semesters at UMass Dartmouth.
- Recognition within Chi Phi for leadership during events and new member orientation.
Groups
- Chi Phi Fraternity: Engaged in activities promoting leadership and personal development.
- Robotics Club: Participated in UMass Dartmouth’s robotics club.
Hobbies
- Gaming: Any type of game, whether it be mobile, console or PC.
- Working Out: Good for my mental health and have enjoyed going for the past 2 years.
- Volunteering: I participate in local events through Chi Phi.
