How I got here.
The path, the degree, and the coursework behind the work.
My high school ran CS Academy, a Carnegie Mellon program that put Python in front of me in my freshman year. Most people find programming in college or later; I got a head start I've never let go of.
That head start became a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the University of Pittsburgh — four years spanning algorithms and theory, artificial intelligence, data science, software engineering, networking, and systems programming, capped by a senior capstone building an LLM-assisted diagnosis prototype.
Today I split my time between the City of Pittsburgh's Department of Innovation & Performance and my own freelance web development and software practice — websites and custom software for small businesses.
- Freshman year CS Academy — Carnegie Mellon's high-school Python program
- Junior year AP Computer Science Principles
- Senior year AP Computer Science A — Java, object-oriented programming
- 2021 – 2025 B.S. Computer Science, University of Pittsburgh
- Summer 2022 City of Pittsburgh — Devices Team
- Summer 2023 City of Pittsburgh — Service Desk
- Oct 2025 – now City of Pittsburgh — Service Desk & Digital Solutions
- Dec 2025 – now Freelance practice — websites & custom software
The coursework, explorable.
I built an interactive portfolio of my entire Pitt coursework — a Constellation star-map of how courses connect, an Atlas of filterable course cards, and a term-by-term Timeline.
- CS 1980 — Capstone: LLM-assisted diagnosis prototype (prompt iteration, agent design, delivery)
- CS 1571 — Artificial Intelligence: search, inference, planning, Bayesian networks
- CS 1550 — Operating Systems: xv6 labs + a FUSE filesystem in C
- CS 1652 — Networking: C socket programming + HTTP projects
- CS 1656 — Data Science: Python + SQL (recommender systems, association rule mining)
Full project source, syllabi, and course artifacts live in a private repository for academic-integrity reasons — access available on request.
