Education

August 2020 — May 2022

M.S. in Computer Science and Software Engineering

After graduating from UAB with a bachelor’s in computer science, I decided to continue my education at Auburn, as I knew at this point I wanted to focus on AI for my career. During my master’s education, I focused my courseload on machine learning and evolutionary algorithms (while also sharpening my skills on software engineering and user interface development).

August 2016 — May 2020

B.A. in Computer Science

I began my college education at UAB in 2016, and graduated with a bachelor’s degree with distinguished honors in computer science. I also minored in neuroscience because of my interest in artificial intelligence.

Wall of History

Wall of History is a web archive of the BIONICLE story — compiled in an accessible, easy-to-read format. I’ve been developing this website entirely on my own since 2019, and you can check it out here. You can also find a GitHub repo of the project code here.

The current version of the site was developed using MySQL, PHP HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. A newer version is currently in development, built using Bun and Vue.js.
