About Me

In addition to my passion for computer science, I am a musician and composer, film creator and as a teenager played high-level competitive hockey. I have worked on a variety of projects that include infrastructure engineering, machine learning, website design, software security, computer networks and much more. Outside of my professional life, I spend most of my time playing basketball, writing music and improving my chess skills.
