I graduated from Marist College with a BS and MS in Computer Science/Software Development in August 2009.

My passions are computing/technology, writing (prose and poetry), and Chinese history. I've been programming since high school--I've always been pushed towards making things myself because I always see ways to do things better, and programming was a sensible extension of that desire. I'm fascinated with building and making things, though I originally gravitated towards writing and programming computers because my initial attempts to make things with my hands ended in frustration due to my poor eyesight.
