I am an undergraduate student at Southern New Hampshire University majoring in computer science with a minor in mathematics and a concentration in data analysis. As of 01 Jan., 2026, I have earned an associates degree in computer science, and I am currently working towards the bachelors-portion of my undergraduate education. My main interests are system programming, computer networks, machine learning and bioinformatics.

Outside of school, I like to "stay sharp" by doing computer science practice with sundry textbook problems, and work on (semi-)arbitrary computing problems. I also like to dabble in other STEM and humanities related fields. These are some of the results from my extracurricular activities:
Open Source Society University (OSSU)
From time to time, I am working on set of STEM "majors" from the Open Source Society University --- abbreviated to "OSSU." This includes all of my other non-accredited coursework that may or may not be in the OSSU curriculum.
Textbook Problems
- (T) Starting Out with C++: From Control Structures through Objects (ISBN-13: 978-0-13-403732-5)
- (L) Bayesian Statistics the Fun Way (ISBN-13: 978-1-59327-956-1)
- (L) Matter and Interactions: Fourth Edition (ISBN-13: 978-1-59327-640-9)
- (L) Dive Into Algorithms (ISBN-13: 978-1-7185-0068-6)
- (L) Doing Math with Python (ISBN-13: 978-1-59327-640-9)
Note to self: T = todo and L = later
Online Code Judges
- CodeSignal: general programming
- DM::OJ: general programming
- HackerRank: general programming
- Project Euler: with a special focus on number theory and maths
- Rosalind: with a special focus on bioinformatics
Capture The Flags (CTFs)
- picoCTF 2025: general beginner-level ctf challenges.
- Sadly, I do not have a README or supplementary materials (I did these challenges haphazardly, and did not have the time to document my progress and achievements).
- picoCTF 2023: general beginner-level ctf challenges.
- BrixelCTF 2020: general beginner-level ctf challenges.
- Decompetition 2020: reverse engineering puzzles. Rather than trying to work out a "flag," participants are challenged to reengineer compiled binaries to best match the output of the original compiled executable.
- FlareON 5: ctf focused on reverse engineering.
InfoSec labs and CTF practice
- ImmersiveLabs: general infosec
- TryHackMe: general infosec
- crackmes.one: infosec with a special focus on reversing
