long story short...

I am currently a senior pursuing a Bachelor's of Science in Computer Science Degree through Rice University's George R. Brown School of Engineering. I am strongly interested in full-stack software development. I enjoy using both the logical and creative sides of my brain and I hope to combine my love of graphic design and programming into a career in Computer Science.
