Programming for Impact

Mission

mountain picture
My mission is to explore career opportunities in tech and business. While I'm still an undergrad student at UNC Chapel Hill, I want to create a small business as a website developer while I continue studying computer science. After university, I want to develop software that will help people — whether that be software targeted to maximize daily productivity, to help growing businesses save money, or to be used in modern medical technology. I also have a passion for video game development and have been honing my skills since middle school.
