About

Programming has opened the door to a world of problems. With those problems also came to the ability to solve a great deal of complex problems. When I first took my intro level computer science course, I thought it would be a nice skill to add to my physics studies but I was wrong. It opened a whole new passion of mine. I have found nothing to be more satisfying than to finally have compiling and working code after hours of wanting to pull my hair out. There is a certain joy in solving problems that you originally thought to be impossible. The experiences throughout my schooling and research have prepared me to solve many problems I could never dream of attempting a few years prior. It has even given be a skillset that allows me to discover answers to problems that would originally stump me through proper research in the correct channels. I am excited to continue to expand the boarders of my knowledge.
