The University of Wisconsin-Madison is a Big 10 college with over 45,000 students. Madison’s School of Computer, Data & Information Sciences has been ranked consistently in the top 15 Computer Science programs in the United States by U.S. News and World Reports. 

I currently maintain a 4.0/4.0 Grade Point Average (GPA) and have been on the department’s Dean's list every semester. I entered UW-Madison with enough Advanced Placement (AP) credits to test out of Freshman year and will complete the normal 4-year Computer Science program in just 3 years. I will graduate in May 2025 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science.

I immersed myself in computer science, engineering, mathematics, and game design, building expertise in key technical areas. My Computer Science coursework emphasized Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), Data Structures, Runtime Complexity, Greedy Algorithms, Dynamic Programming (DP), and Network Flow. In Computer Engineering, I studied Virtual Address Space, Heap/Stack Management, and compilers, while my Computer Graphics focus was on leveraging the GPU rendering pipeline. My Mathematics background spans Linear Algebra, Discrete Math, Numerical Methods, and advanced Calculus, enhancing my understanding of proofs, multidimensional systems, and differential equations. Pursuing a Game Design Certificate, I explored design practices for engaging gameplay, incorporating psychology, color theory, and art styles to craft appealing characters and environments. This interdisciplinary approach honed my technical and creative problem-solving skills.
