Here's a little bit about me!
I may be a Computer Science Major, but I try to get up from my desk from time to time. Here's what I do when I'm not bashing my head into my computer:
Hiking
Pokémon GO
Keeping Terrariums
Lifeguarding
Exploring the City
A Full Stack Developer that touches grass? It's insane, I know, but honestly there's nothing quite as relaxing to me as hearing the birds chirping and the wind rustling through the leaves. Whenever I'm feeling stuck I try my best to get in touch with nature, and it usually sets me back on the right path pretty quick.
Sure, I might not have achieved my childhood dream of becoming a Pokémon trainer, but Pokémon GO lets me live out that fantasy through my phone! It's my daily reason to leave the house, and hey, I've even clinched a few Pokémon GO tournament victories along the way!
When I can't bring myself to nature, I can bring the nature to me! I've always been captivated by the art of terrariums. There's an inherent tranquility in curating these miniature pockets of the natural world within my room. I particularly enjoy tending to unique plant varieties and fascinating creatures.
From the age of 13, I've served as a Lifeguard and Swimming Instructor at my neighborhood fitness center. Beyond the physical fitness aspect, this role has allowed me to engage with students of various ages and backgrounds. I take immense joy in imparting valuable skills to a diverse and wonderful community of learners.
Although I come from the suburbs of Philadelphia, the city feels like a second home to me. There's a certain comfort in being amidst constant activity and energy. The bustling rhythm of city life serves as a reminder of our small place in the grand scheme of things, yet it's a constant source of inspiration for the positive impact we can make.
Here's some projects I've worked on!
I've explored a wide range of Computer Science projects, from websites and software to bots and web-apps. Here are just a few examples:
infoBot
InfoBot is a comprehensive Discord Server management bot that empowers even novice users to efficiently manage large communities with minimal effort.
Parthificial Intelligence
An AI ChatBot developed for PSU Abington's Computer Science department, helping students learn about their classes, professors, and campus.
Project Grover
Sponsored by Lockheed Martin, Project Grover aimed to develop a fleet of ground-based rovers using swarm intelligence to explore an area and return mission data.
Couch Counseling
Developed for PSU's Human Services Department, this simulation lets students play the role of a behavioral health case manager conducting a home visit.
Fundament Language
Fundament (bigF) is a python wrapper programming language. It's designed to be easier to read and understand than industry standards such as Python.
ChopShop
ChopShop streamlines grocery shopping by letting users enter a grocery list and immediately generating the most convenient route through the store.
