About Me

Hi! I am currently a senior Computer Science major at the University of Maryland, College Park. Hoping to graduate in May 2019.

My experience in programming comes from academic courses, work experiences, and side projects

I am primarily interested in backend software engineering, big data analysis/visualization, web applications, and parallel computating.

Education


University of Maryland

I am currently finishing up my Bachelors in Computer Science at the University of Maryland, College Park.

In addition to my major, I graduated from the the Advanced Cybersecurity Experience for Students (ACES) living and learning program, and will also be finishing up an Astronomy Minor.


Future

After finishing my Bachelors at the University of Maryland, I would like to persue a Master's degree in Computer Science (or a related field) to further my education!

Side Projects

In my free time I enjoy working on small side projects to experiment with new technologies and have fun.

As a short disclaimer: All of these projects are still WIP, and many were developed at a time where I was not aware of many software development best practices =)


UMD Courses Tool Suite

An assortment of web tools regarding courses at the University of Maryland, College Park. The two main features are currently tracking CS upper level registration, and a more improved course search.

  • Upper Level Computer Science Registration Course Tracker - Tracks the status of UMD's Upper Level CS courses throughout registration period. Space is limited in these classes, so one can use this to see how fast a certain course fills up to determine whether it is realistic to get a spot in it.
  • Improved Course Search - Allows searching UMD courses by Building/Room and start/end time. UMD's official site only supports basic search functionality, and does not provide these search features.
