{{ header("About Me", "/") }}
<p>I'm currently a fourth-year student at Drake University studying Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence. I'm particularly interested in sustainable computing, especially at the consumer level. I also enjoy applying programming to the physical world using microcontrollers and other electronics. Beyond the computer screen, I enjoy cooking, baking, playing the trumpet, and petting <a href="/dog">my dog</a>.</p>
<p>I fell in love with programming in middle school while learning to make games with <a href="https://scratch.mit.edu" target="_blank">Scratch</a> and my TI-84 graphing calculator. In high school, I learned how to program Minecraft bots with JavaScript, which I still dabble in occasionally.</p>
<p>Starting in college, I expanded my skill set by engaging regularly with my professors in extracurricular research, programming projects, and other events, in addition to my classes. I'm most proud of a publication on urban infrastructure networks, writing a network protocol, client, and server to play popular whiteboard game Hangman, and my team's first-place site standing this year in the <a href="https://icpc.global" target="_blank">ICPC programming contest</a>. I also really enjoy helping fellow students in Drake's Math/CS tutoring lab, where I've worked for about three years now.</p>
<p>Moving forward, I plan to pursue every opportunity I can to continue learning; right now I'm planning to get a PhD in Computer Science. After that, I want to work in a job that lets me build close relationships with people, share my love of learning, and make the world a better place - even if it's just for a few people.</p>
