About Me
I'm a Computer Science student at Drexel University, minoring in Finance and Mathematics, graduating in June 2028. Most recently I was a Software Engineer Co-op at Penn Mutual Life Insurance, building React and Next.js features for insurance forms and search.
I build full-stack web apps and machine learning projects, and I'm a member of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) and Drexel IEEE.
