About

I am currently a Computer Science student at the University of Texas at Tyler. I also am minoring in Mathematics to complement my understanding of CS and programming knowledge.
In high school, I led the Computer Science UIL team and we were able to make it all the way to the state level competition my senior year. Due to this role, I believe I am both a strong leader and teacher; even today, I continue to help students learn in the CS department at UT Tyler.

Currently, I'm involved with researching the throughput of Semantic Web data (RDF) in Triple Stores (A type of BigData problem).

Goals and interests

Career goal

I plan to become a Software Engineer, while specializing in in low-level programming languages, such as C++, with a focus on Data-oriented Design, as well as GPGPU programming.
But regardless, I believe wherever there is a software-related problem that needs solving, I can draft a solution and break it down for a team of programmers to implement.

Outside the classroom

Playing Piano professionally.
Composing electronic music.
Creating graphic simulations (computer software) that create lifelike or movie effects.
