Background

I graduated from Westminster College in May 2022 with my Bachelors of Science in Physics and a minor in Computer Science. During my undergraduate studies, I participated in three research projects in computer science and astronomy/physics. I’ve been interested in computers since I was very young and I’ve been programming since I was 15.

I’ve previously worked as a Web Developer intern, freelancer, contractor, and employee at various companies such as SkillStruck, Westminster College, and 530 Media Lab. My undergraduate capstone project involved creating an open source, interactive visualization of the James Webb Space Telescope’s optical system in 2D.

Current Responsibilities

I am currently a software developer working with Dr. Shireen Elhabian and Dr. Alexander Lex with the Visualization Design Lab. I work with graduate students on data visualization projects as well as maintain currently in-use software.
