I became involved with Computer Science after taking intro classes as a freshman.  I was drawn to Computer Science for the critical thinking approach to solving problems and the rush of emotions after creating a feature or fixing a bug.

Through my courses, I have been lucky enough to work on time intensive projects. In the fall of 2016, as part of a team of two, I created a Maze Solving game working with Java, and then eventually ported the game over to Android. In the spring of 2017, I worked on a team of 5 following Agile-style development where we created a rapid prototyping application for Android applications. I also participated as a team in TribeHacks 2017, where we created a virtual reality Imgur explorer.

This summer, I am working with Dr. LaMar at William and Mary as a web developer on the QUBESHub.org website. I am working on adding components and plugins to the site, which uses the HubZero Content Management System (hubzero-cms), itself based on Joomla!.  I mainly have been doing backend development in PHP, but have also done some frontend work with HTML, CSS, and Javascript.
