Computer Science

Bio

I grew up in a small town in Northern New Jersey. I am studying computer science. I spent two summers interning for a logistics company, once as a software engineer, and once as a devops engineer. Most recently, I completed a research paper on AI-sheet music generation, which I worked on at the University of Padova, in Italy.

Interests

Fishing

An excuse to sit around and do nothing. Sitting by the water and casting hooks is fun.

Find ponds around Boston.

Sailing

Growing up near the Hudson river, and a lot of small ponds, dingy sailing is one of my favorite passtimes.

BU Sailing Pavillion.

Playing piano

Introduced to playing through friends I met while studying in Italy. Still new to this, so it's little more than a party trick right now.

My buddies who inspired me to learn play here.
