Computer Science graduate from Boston University with a strong interest in software engineering. I enjoy building things for the web and have experience creating full-stack websites from scratch. I've worked on team projects in school, done freelance web design, and handled real estate data using MongoDB. I've recently taken on more responsibilities in the IT department and am actively working toward my CCNA certification.
