About

Who I Am

I’m a senior CS major at LSU, concentrating in cybersecurity. I like building minimal tools that solve real problems involving passwords and cybersecurity. I am an actively self-teaching student who is highly motivated to expand my knowledge of the intricacies of technology.

When not coding: school, gym, sports, and enjoying life.
