Education
California

I graduated high school in the Bay Area and studied Mathematics/Economics at the University of California, San Diego for a BS. Afterward, I enrolled in Santa Clara University's JD program but dropped out within a month.

Following the dropout I spent around a year and a half as a self-employed private tutor. I also took up work as a contractor for AJ Tutoring and Manhattan for general academic tutoring and SAT + LSAT test prep.

When not at work, I studied Computer Science. I took introductory CS classes at Foothill and De Anza College, supplementing my learning with free online resources and personal programming projects. My first completed project was a poorly implemented but functional chat app that allowed users to also play Rock Paper Scissors in real time. I built a browser-based web client for the app using AngularJS along with a CLI written in Java. I used Netty for my server and dipped my fingers into databases with a PostgreSQL DB for user credentials. The entire stack was hosted on a single EC2 instance.
