About

Software Development undergraduate at the University of Utah! I'm very interested in backend work, but open to all sorts of development. I'm looking for internships! My greatest strengths include a growth mindset, curiosity, and communication. In my spare time, I love climbing, snowboarding and photography. I took the backdrop picture in my profile!
