About Me

I'm originally from western Massachusetts, but I've lived in New York for the last several years, and I recently moved to Ireland, where I'm pursuing an MSc in Computer Science at TU Dublin. In my spare time, I enjoy learning about computers and software programming — I'm especially fond of Go.
