I’m a passionate and driven student planning to pursue a degree in Computer Science and Data Analytics at Grand Valley State University. From an early age, I discovered my love for programming and problem-solving, which quickly evolved into a deep fascination with technology and its potential to transform the world. This passion has guided me through countless projects and challenges, honing my technical skills and fueling my curiosity for innovation.
I’ve built a strong foundation in computer science through advanced coursework, including AP Computer Science, AP JavaScript, and other technology-focused classes. My hands-on experience extends beyond the classroom, including co-developing Physique Pal, a fitness tracking app, and contributing to my robotics team, where I’ve spent five years competing at the highest levels of VEX Robotics, consistently qualifying for the state championships. Through robotics, I’ve mastered advanced coding techniques like PID control loops, odometry, and even developed my own pure pursuit controllers through persistent trial and error. These experiences taught me not only the technical mechanics of programming but also the importance of critical thinking, adaptability, and networking.
Beyond robotics and app development, I’ve cultivated a diverse skill set, from website architecture and graphic design to cybersecurity and crafting elegant solutions for complex systems. I bring creativity, precision, and innovation to every project, whether it’s building a new app, designing interactive systems, or problem-solving for unique challenges. My ability to adapt and apply my knowledge across different domains ensures I can tackle any task with confidence and enthusiasm.
I’m excited to continue expanding my expertise at Grand Valley State University while seeking new opportunities to innovate, learn, and make a meaningful impact.
“Endowed with boundless adaptability and unrivaled perspicacity, I transcend limits to fulfill your ambitions.”
