Bio
This page is to give you a better idea of who I am as a Master of Computer Science in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). I achieved my undergraduate degree at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville in 2021, and my graduate degree from Purdue University, West Lafayette in 2025. I currently work as a Project Engineer under Dr. Malshe in the Center for In-Space Manufacturing (CISM) doing Digital Transformation.
About Me
I've been programming since 7th grade (ca. 2012 ish). I started on the TI-84 Plus SE following a programming book by the legendary Kerm Martian, creator of the DoorsCS operating system for the afformentioned graphing calculator, champion of the Cemetech forum, and friend to my sibling, Tanner.
I participated in FIRST Robotics in high school where I was co-lead 3D printing captain. During senior year of high school, I was also in the school journalism class, and I wrote articles mainly on STEM topics like robotics, emerging technologies, and case studies on how people use their smart devices.
In my free time, I enjoy tinkering. I own a 3D printer (the Creality Ender 3, not that I recommend it). I also own at least one of each generation handheld Nintendo console, a Wii, Wii U, GameCube, PS3, Xbox 360, and a few others, literally all of which have been softmodded or jailbroken in some way, running things from Linux to game emulators. I like building, fixing, and taking apart computers and laptops, messing with Android to do as I see fit, and just generally digging into software and hardware to see how things work. I like beta testing and providing feedback on Github repositories and Linux distros, and I always like being at the bleeding edge of technology.
CISM
As a government-funded laboratory, the Center for In-Space Manufacturing, part of the Materials and Manufacutring Research Laboratory (MMRL) at Purdue University in West Lafayette, we focus on providing in-space manufacturing capabilities for projects like Virgin Galactic test flights and fabrication projects in space stations like the ISS.
