I'm a Computer Science Master's Student and this is my first semester here at UAlbany. For my undergraduate studies, I attended RIT where I had a concentration in Artificial Intelligence and Computer Vision/Graphics. I was originally a Mechanical Engineering major for a year and a half before realizing I liked programming much more than engineering. RIT requires all students to complete a co-op internship as a part of the degree, so I spent a year working for a government lab processing weather data. I grew up here in Albany and came back home after finishing my undergraduate degree. I have 2 cats named Finley and Dakota as well as a dog named Taffy.
