At UW Madison, I developed as a programmer by learning from exceptional professors across disciplines such as algorithms, databases, optimization, and machine learning. Most of my academic programming experience is based in C, Java, and Python—Java forming the foundation for most introductory classes, Python for data science and machine learning courses, and C from sophmore year on for systems programming and algorithms.

Outside of my Computer Science studies, I spent considerable time at the chalkboards in math classrooms. I was constantly humbled by the complexities presented in my math classes, but I found this experience foundational to my approach in solving difficult problems.
