I enjoy studying science and mathematics of all kinds. I've been vegan for 9 years and vegetarian for 20. I love hiking and camping any time of year and have hiked all 48 of the 4000-footers in NH in all 4 seasons.

I've lived in the Boston area my whole life. I learned to use a computer so I could play video games at a very young age. I remember using DOS 3.0 on a 16 GHz machine and booting from a floppy disk. I learned BASIC in High school and I taught myself C and wrote an H.P. Lovecraft-inspired text-based video game with some animated graphics. Then one summer I helped my father to rewrite some FORTRAN code and used the results to program EEPROM chips. This got me excited about a career in computer science.
