Major: Computer Science
- I am entering my third year as a CS student at UT, which is where I have learned the majority of my technical skills.
- This summer, I interned as an Automation Engineer at Kendall Electric here in Knoxville. I gained skills in PLC programming as well as sales knowledge of Industrial Automation products.
- I have been actively working on a Linux web server hosted for free by Oracle. Right now I have taken down most of the pages but I actively host an instance of the search engine Whoogle, which you can find here.
- Languages (most to least confident): C++, Java, MATLAB, HTML, Ladder, CSS, Bash, LaTeX, Structured Text, GDScript, C
- Tools: Linux(Arch, Deb, RHEL), Vim, Git, VSCode, Docker
- I am interested in open-source software, as well as the general the FOSS philosophy. I believe software should be written with lower-end hardware in mind, and be completely open and transparent with its users. I use a 13-year-old ThinkPad X220 as my school/personal laptop, which serves as a good benchmark for modern-software optimization.
- I do a bit of reading, mostly religious texts, but I do enjoy authors like Dostoevsky.
- Gaming has always been a heavy interest of mine; I play a little bit of everything. Right now I'm playing Fallout: London and Yakuza.
