About Me

About Me
Data Science student at the University of California at Berkeley.
Currently employed at M Science as a Data Engineer.
I am particularly interested in Machine Learning (Neural Networks especially),
Natural Language Processing, and Cloud Computing.
In my free time I like to weightlift, read, and watch Zelda and Mario speedruns.
I'm currently reading "The Collected Novels of Stefan Zweig" translated by Anthea Bell and "Dune Messiah" by Frank Herbert.
Feel free to message me about anything book-related or otherwise.

Education
Master of Information and Data Science
The MIDS Program at Berkeley's school of information is one of the nation's strongest data science programs. There is an emphasis on small class sizes and end-to-end knowledge of data science that has really helped me progress as a scientist. At MIDS I regularly get to work with professionals with a diverse set of backgrounds to tackle interesting and difficult problems.
Expected Graduation: 2024
Bachelor of Computer Science
Utah's top research institution. I received a B.S. in Computer Science in the Spring of 2021. I took courses in Software Engineering and Data Science. I'm grateful for the opportunities I had while I was at the U and I appreciate my professors for holding my to a high standard. I was a member of Triangle, a STEM fraternity where I met many of my closest colleagues.
Graduated In: 2021
Associate of Science
I took concurrent enrollment classes at UTU thanks to the Success Academy Program that enabled me to graduate high school with enough credits to earn my associates degree at 18. I loved the small class sizes and community. The individual attention I received from professors kindled my passion for mathematics, science, and computing. Subjects I'm still passionate about today.
Graduated In: 2018
Projects

Bank Document Verifier
A collaborative workspace geared to enable financial
institutions to automate their application processes. Created using Angular, TypeScript,
and SCSS. Here, banks can automatically
verify important documents such as W2s, Schedule C's, etc. and
approve applicants. BDV allows for real-time communication to ensure loans are processed
accurately and timely.
The Bank Document Verifier team was awarded 2nd place in the University of Utah's
School of Computing's 2021 Spring capstone presentations
