I am a senior studying software engineering. My specialties are web development in the cloud, specifically with AWS. I have been working at Pearson for 3 years in both cyber security and React Development positions. I also work for the ISEAGE research lab on campus, doing Cyber Defense Competitions for students.


My experience is largely with React and React based frameworks, and many of my personal projects are based around web applications hosted with AWS Amplify.
