Hi, I'm Daniel

Honors Computer Science Student at The Ohio State University

In elementary school, I was first introduced to "coding" through Minecraft command blocks. In 7th grade, I started experimenting with Arduinos. By highschool, I was hooked on programming my own video games. By graduation, I was staying up learning web development. Now, as a junior in college, I have built multiple full-stack applications and am actively exploring Big Data and machine learning. All my life, I have been passionate about finding innovative ways to solve problems and I am eager to continue exploring my curiosities through technology.
