Currently I am working as a software engineer intern at Thomson Reuters in Eagan, MN working on Checkpoint Edge-- a tax and accounting research web application. Previously, I interned at TCF Bank (now Huntington) as a systems engineer on the DevOps team gaining experience with the code deployment cycle as well as modern technologies like Docker/Kubernetes, Elastic Stack, Prometheus, and Jenkins. On campus, I work as a student systems administrator for the computer sciences department of UW Madison, supporting the thousands of workstations, servers, and network infrastructure. At home I maintain a server rack with various Dell Servers running numerous VM’s to experiment on. They are running various Linux distributions, with VMware ESXi acting as the hypervisor. I am also a part of the University of Wisconsin’s Hyperloop team- Badgerloop acting as the website team lead and member of the software team, as well as an executive member for the AI club here at the UW.
In high school much of my time was devoted to our Business Professionals of America (BPA) team, where I was the vice-president. I competed in Website Design, Computer Network Technology, Systems Administration Using Cisco, Computer Technician Essentials, and Global Marketing Team. I have made it to the nationwide competition featuring hundreds of schools from all over the country in both Website Design, and Systems administration using Cisco. I placed 2nd in the nation for website design two consecutive years, and placed in Systems Administration using Cisco in my final year. In my free time I enjoy the sports of tennis, golf, and snowboarding. I also enjoy photography, and maintain a portfolio of my pictures (linked above in contacts).
