I started to learn to code when I was in middle school, and although it was a hobby at the time I grew to love it. Originally I planned on becoming a more traditional engineer. However I realized early on after graduating that my true passion was programming and I sincerely loved the field.
Since then I've come a long way and learned multiple new things, especially with how projects in industry are handled and built as well as gaining an appreciation for the vast plethora of tools available at my disposal. Utilizing these various tools I have participated in multiple high impact projects including company wide telemetry, data analysis and lately, data lineage across multiple types of financial instruments.
Currently I am working as a Sr. Data Engineer at Nomura and am personally aiming to complete my Master's degree in Computer Science from Georgia Tech, with a specialization in computing systems, by 2023.
I'm familiar with a variety of tools and programming languages, including Java, Python, C++, C#, Rust and C, and many tools used in the industry.
I enjoy teaching with an example based methodology and answering questions by breaking out my trusty paint skills to illustrate the concept. Tutoring and helping others is enjoyable and it's always great to see something click for someone else.
