Background

I am a fourth year student of Software Engineering at the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, NY. I am originally from Pine Island, NY.
I started working with computers when I was 8 and I helped make an HTML web site for my elementary school. I went on to make sites for other people and organizations throughout middle school and high school.
I enjoyed learning how to use simple HTML text to create a great looking web site. I decided in high school that I wanted to go into Software Engineering and to extend my skills to programming software..
I enjoy creating programs that people would use and benefit from.
In addition, I aim to create software projects from the ground up and have control over the function and overall look of the final product.
I believe my major has helped me to accomplish these goals and I am glad that I have chosen it.
Other Activities
I have been a member of the Society of Software Engineers for most of my time here at RIT, and have participated in several activities including rapid development weekends and intramural teams. I continue to make and edit an occasional web site (such as this one).
When I'm not on the computer, I enjoy gaming, snowboarding in the winter, and traveling.
