About
I am a Master's student in Computer Science at the University of Colorado, Boulder with a passion for web development. My academic journey started with working on novel entomological research through the Ferster Lab at Gettysburg College, where while processing and analyzing biological field data, I developed a passion for programming and computer science.
Currently, I am working on improving my programming skills while working with personal projects as well as volunteer web development.
Education
M.S Computer Science
University of Colorado, Boulder
Currently enrolled as a part-time master's student of computer science at the University of Colorado, Boulder where I'm building strong foundations in programming, data structures and algorithms, and software development.
B.S Environmental Studies
Gettysburg College
Graduated with a Bachelor's of science in Environmental Studies and minor in Biology from Gettysburg College. During my this time, I tailored my focus to Geographic Information Systems (GIS), data analytics and conservation biology. Contributed to novel entomological research through data analysis and fieldwork while working as an undergraduate research assistant.
Projects
Lepidoptera Population Study in South-Central Pennsylvania
This project analyzed the population dynamics of Lepidoptera in South-Central Pennsylvania by examining the effects of climate change on species diversity and abundance. By collecting and analyzing field data, we identified trends in species distribution and abundance and proposed strategies to conserve biodiversity and ecosystems.
Dam Removal: Environmental Impact Assessment
This project examined the ecological impacts of dam removal on submerged aquatic vegetation in the Chesapeake Bay's Otter Point Creek. By analyzing sediment composition, water quality, and historical submerged aquatic vegetation data with GIS techniques, we identified risks to wildlife and proposed strategies to minimize harm while sustaining ecosystems and biodiversity.
Bonus Harvest: A Counter-Gambling Solution
This project centered around developing automated scripts to redeem bonus offers from online social casinos and gambling websites. By analyzing bonus terms and conditions, I identified exploitable loopholes and developed a Python script to automate the bonus redemption process, allowing users to generate passive income from these social casinos.
Research Assistant
Gettysburg College
2020 - 2024
Worked as a research assistant in the Ferster Lab at Gettysburg College, where we processed and analyzed biological field data to study the population dynamics of Lepidoptera in South-Central Pennsylvania. Thorugh this collecting and analyzing field data, we identified trends in species distribution and abundance and proposed strategies to conserve biodiversity and ecosystems.
