Software Engineering (BS) Major - 3.70 GPA

(BS)
Having a life-long passion for "all things technology", I am currently a software engineering major with an immersion in Astronomy enrolled in RIT's accelerated Bachelor's/Master's program where I have remained on the Dean's List since freshman year.
Upon graduation in 2027, I will be in search of a full time software engineering position with an exceptional technology company that values their employees by cultivating their growth and success and empowering them to achieve great things.
As an Eagle Scout, I have ingrained in me a deep sense of volunteerism and sponsorship and have been heavily active in volunteering in my community for many years including with the WNY STEM "Hand in Hand" program and Mission Ignite, a nonprofit whose mission is to support and serve high needs populations through refurbishing technology and providing STEM training.
In addition to spending my time "coding for the fun of it", being a part of the music scene as a bass trombonist provides me with an essential balance in life switching from quantitative work to an artistic expression. Being a part of several band and orchestras, both on-campus as well as in the community for the past several years, has granted me the opportunity to build strong relationships and develop a strong sense of citizenship in my community.
