About Me
I'm a full-stack web developer who believes in clean, intuitive user interfaces and modular, DRY code. I have a Master of Science degree in Computer Information Systems with a concentration in security from Boston University.
I'm highly detail-oriented and organized, and I'm also a fast learner. I'm constantly working to improve my skills, as well as to increase both the breadth and depth of my knowledge.
Interests
When I'm not coding, I can usually be found doing one of the following:
Reading
Playing tennis
Rooting for Philadelphia and Colorado sports teams
Watching The Big Bang Theory or Game of Thrones
Enjoying/wishing for cold weather
Learning Spanish
