Computer science graduate student at Kutztown University focused on software development, tutoring, and applied research. I enjoy building practical solutions and prototyping tools, and I’m currently working on game and tooling projects using Lua, Python, and Git workflows. I’m seeking an industry role starting after graduation in December 2026, with experience spanning CS instruction, a research-adjacent assistant role, and hands-on game development where I implement gameplay, engine components, and development utilities.
