About Me
I'm a senior at BYU-Idaho looking to apply my skills in an internship focused on Software Development. I'm deeply interested in the world of Operating and Embedded Systems. I love the level of control that you get with languages like C and C++. I've spent lots of time tutoring other students in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, which has helped me learn these concepts very well.
I'm looking for a great company who could use someone with skills in languages such as C, C++, Java, and Python. I'm very excited to start my engineering career and to begin working on projects that will have real-life impacts.
When I'm not working or studying, I love running and spending time with my wife Christine in the mountains. We are currently working as Recreation Aids at a hotel in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.
