Hi, I'm

I like to write code and bake bread.
I play piano, D&D, and climb rocks.
You can find me on github.

Professional Timeline
Bates College
Matriculated!
Moved from the sleepy suburbs of Boston to the sleepy town of Lewiston, ME for my undergraduate education. Recruited to row, and ended up playing Ultimate Frisbee instead.
Bates College
Bachelor of Science, Mathematics and Physics
Earned my undergraduate degree, dabbling in computer science as a hobbyist. Wrote a mathematics thesis titled Convolution and Neural Networks under the advisory of Prof. Katharine Ott. Nominated as a result to the Sigma Xi Research Honor Society.
Carney, Sandoe, & Associates
Hired! Technology Associate
My first post-grad job. A small 30-person company, with an even smaller 3-person technology team, meant that I wore a lot of hats. From fixing employees print drivers, to implementing new web services to facilitate API interactions.
Northeastern University
Matriculated (again)!
It was time to formalize my credentials with a Masters in Computer Science. And I wasn't quite ready to leave my job.
Northeastern University
Full time student again!
Left CS&A to persue my masters full time.

What shall I do today?
Projects

You're looking at it! My personal website tells my story and acts as a portfolio of my code. With a fair amount of experience using React (2+ projects), I chose to extend my knowledge and learn a new framework, and landed on Svelte. Mostly because it was voted the most loved on Stack Overflow's 2021 developer survey. SvelteKit was a natural choice for a stream-lined development experience, and tailwind is my favorite way to keep css in class declarations. The nifty timeline graphic is built with SVG, and is meant to look like a git history.

Final project for CS5160 Web Development for the fall 2021 semester at Northeastern University. A kind of fantasy league for RuPaul's Drag Race.
