I am currently completing a Master's in Computer Science (CS), specializing in Augmented & Virtual Reality at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. I have completed my Bachelor's degree at the University of Illinois Chicago, majoring in Computer Science and minoring in Art.

With a focus on human-centered design, I particularly enjoy focusing on the UX/UI, interface design aspect of things. Since the beginning of elementary school, I couldn't help but reorganize the PowerPoints my teachers assigned, and later, being complimented on the custom presentation themes I made myself. The goal is to make whatever concept I'm presenting easier for everyone to understand.

While my CS courses allowed me to experience what a standard program or web interface might look like to complete, the selection of my Art classes in college were the ones that truly solidified my enjoyment in game creation. I was able to devote an unreasonable amount of hours into figuring out what boss phases I wanted to make, to tweak the stats of all entities to balance the game difficulty, to consider what quality of life features the player would need (adjusting XYZ settings, crouching, sprinting, etc), to build the world the player walks through, and to create a backstory and a reason for the player to complete the game. Similarly, there are many times that I find myself playing a video game, and noting some specific detail that should be changed or added. Feel free to look in 'Coding Projects' for some of the games I've created in my classes!

During high school, I also discovered a talent in creating digital collages. The pieces showcased in 'Digital Artwork' are a few examples of my finished work. I've even accepted a few commissions on the side.
