Bachelor of Science in Computer Science GPA: 3.63/4.00

Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA

Graduated December 2021

High School Diploma

Twin Valley School District

Graduated June 2018

Pulsar Search Collaboratory (2018 – 2019)

Appplied an extensive analysis of the data obtained from the Arecibo Radio Telescope and equivalent instruments to meticulously classify the data into three categories, namely "noise" (background radiation), radio frequency interference of human origin, or fast radio burst, such as a pulsar.

First Hackathon (2018)

In September of 2018, I had the opportunity to participate in a local Hackathon event at Downingtown Stem Academy, where my team and I engaged in the end-to-end design, programming, and demonstration of innovative solutions aimed at tackling real-world issues. This experience ignited my enthusiasm towards coding creative problem-solving ideas that are pivotal to resolving the challenges of today; and when I realized my passion for Engineering. After winning some prototyping breadboards my interests exploded, leading me to attend two Hackathons at Penn State.

Seccond Hackathon (2019)

My second Hackathon was freshman year of college in September of 2018 at Penn State University. This is when realization became reality, where 100 students transformed into over a thousand. Along with the competition came inspiring and elaborate new projects.

Capstone Project (2021)

My sophomore year of college, I had the privilege to attend the University’s own Hackathon event; this presented me with a profound realization of the true potential of collaborative innovation, where the ranks of 100 participating students grew into an astonishing thousand. This increase in participation served as a catalyst for my passion of cutting-edge problem-solving solutions.

Explanation

This webpage serves as an experimental prototype and a source of inspiration for my full-stack development endeavors. As I undertake this ambitious project, I intend to utilize GitHub as a documentation platform for my growth in web research and development practices. storing the experimentation, and deployment of multiple technologies and frameworks. I am committed to acquiring invaluable expertise that enables me to discern the most appropriate framework for any given scenario.

Robotics

FIRST Robotics Competition (2014 – 2017)

Program Tele-Op controls and Autonomous controls for IR and Sonar sensors. Utilized motor encoders for more robust distance measurement during autonomous mode.

All work was split into tasks among the group members and the steps were well documented in our Engineering notebook. This helped to create a professional environment where no single person was reworking or 'reinventing the wheel' and this allowed me to create a distance indicator using an Arduino. This also allowed the opportunity to interface Arduino software directly with the hardware.

Engineering Process (2018 to Present)

Every day is a new life experience that I can add to my 'swiss-army-knife' of ideas as I progress further, learning new procedures and exercising my rhetoric. I am confident this webpage will document the journey.
