About Me

I’m a student at the University of Notre Dame studying Computer Science with a minor in Engineering Corporate Practice.

My passion for data analytics came from watching NBA games with the live box scores open next to me. This passion led me to my first real project: NBA Player Performance Ratings

My code expertise comes from many projects I have worked on, all based around my passion for sports analytics. Opportunities like working with a DI basketball team and leading a sports analytics club at my university have helped me grow as a computer scientist and leader.
