Personal Website
December 2023
This particular website you are on now.
This is my first time doing something like this.
It makes me respect designers much more because this is impossible.
As I learn more about webdev, more versions of this website will exist.
However this one will always be available to show where I started.

The Pitch
Summer 2022
The Pitch is a great summer program in which a team is formed
and tasked with proposing a solution to given problems.
A mock product and business model is formed and presented in the process.
I was lucky enough to be on a winning team as a part of the development squad

Boiler Blade
2019-Current
This is mostly a stress-relieving club.
It is a larp-adjacent (belegarth) club.
It allows me to momentarily break away from academics, to focus on something new and interactive.
I held leadership positions as Squad Leader, Quartermaster, and Vice President.
