About

I was born in Long Beach, California on December 23, 1993. After living in Huntington Beach, California for the first 6 months of my life, my family moved to Scarsdale, New York, where lived for 20 years. I attended Scarsdale High School from 2008-2012, where I discovered my interest in math, science, and engineering. It was in my junior year of high school at the age of 16 that I found my eventual career path in software engineering. After gradiating high school, I moved to Medford, Massachusetts to continue my education at Tufts University. My studies at Tufts lasted from August 2012 to December 2015. After graduating Tufts with a B.S. in Computer Science, I moved to Denver, Colorado where I am worked at Raytheon as a software engineer. From Denver, I moved to San Diego, where I now work at Qualcomm. In total, I have lived in 6 states: New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, California, Arizona, and Colorado. My hobbies include traveling, baseball, hiking, bowling, golf, and programming. Staying true to my New York roots, I am fan of the New York Yankees and New York Knicks.
