Bio: Since my hometown is about 30 minutes north of Boston, I'm stoked to live and learn at MIT while still seeing my friends and folks back home every once and a while. I actually got introduced to my major, computer science, because my friends and I wanted to stay together freshman year of high school, so we all decided to put an obscure Visual Basic programming class into our schedule. I fell in love with programming, and since then I've even worked on federally funded video game development. For a computer person, however, I've managed to avoid Facebook, since I believe true friends will always stay in touch. I'm always down with making more, so if you're up for playing a little soccer or just chilling while watching Family Guy, look me up. I'm the dude on campus in the black Big D & the Kids Table sweatshirt (my favorite ska band & my favorite sweatshirt).
