My Story
A little bit about me...
I'm a third-year honors student majoring in computer science at the University of Utah.
I'm an experienced TA, a passionate student leader, and an avid learner. I'm looking for full-time positions in software engineering where I can apply my skills and build new ones! I have proficiency in Java, C-based languages, Python, and SQL. I'm looking for full-stack or backend development roles.
In my free time, I love to explore the outdoors and spend time with my family (and cat)! Most recently, I've enjoyed hiking in Washington State, Southern Utah, and my home-turf Wasatch Mountains near Salt Lake City, UT.

"During his internship Alex was able to integrate himself quickly into the team and made meaningful contributions despite only being here for a few months. Additionally he showed that he can quickly learn new concepts and skills and then use them to complete his assigned tasks. Alex is a problem solver who pushes himself into new areas without hesitation, it was fun to watch him learn and gain confidence as he did so. I highly recommend Alex for any role or position - he is a fantastic person and quickly becoming a great developer."
