About Me

My Resume

I'm currently a third year CS student at NEU. I like building things (currently working on making a terminal based messaging platform with my friend and I'm also making a pure python web server with features such as load balancing, serving static files, etc). Most of these projects are just to learn more new tech/concepts, get better at programming, and have fun :) I'm also an avid MMA fan and enjoy weightlifting.
