In today’s world, computers are developing faster than ever before.  Everyday, there are new gadgets and tools available for our use.  While this seems great for a lot of people, oftentimes, there is a disconnect between infrequent computer users and new technology.  This is an issue I strive to solve.  

 

As a computer scientist, I work to create interfaces that will allow users to guide their devices at ease.  I believe in building platforms that are easy to follow and learn, and I aim to bridge the technology gap that is present in our society today.  Creating user-friendly technology will allow average people to experience the perks and benefits of new developments as quickly as their tech-savvy peers.  

​

In addition to this, through technical writing, I hope to help people understand new developments in the technology world.  When new technologies are created, it often takes some time for the masses to hear about them because the new electronics are often presented in a way that the average person has trouble understanding.  This is frustrating for both the consumer and the seller.  I find the utmost importance in taking complex ideas and breaking them down or simplifying them in a way that makes them more accessible to everyone.  

 

Currently, I am studying at Stony Brook University in order to hone my skills in these fields.  In the past, I have guided STEM clubs and teams, such as FIRST Robotics team 375, to victories as well as created technical documents in various professional fields, including startup companies and nonprofits.  By the year 2020, I will graduate with a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and a minor in Writing.
