Relevant Studies:

I studied data structures, algorithms, cybersecurity, gray-hat hacking, database management systems, web development, data mining, big data analytics, networks, operating systems, microprocessor programming, compilers, and mathematics topics such as calculus, linear algebra, and discrete mathematics.

Technical Skills:

I am comfortable using Java, C, C++, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, and several other languages and technologies. Please see my GitHub for a more detailed portfolio of my technical experience and work.

Extracurricular Activities:

To fund my degree in computer science, I received a scholarship for music performance and earned a minor in music. I was heavily involved in large and small ensembles, including the EWU Symphony Orchestra, the EWU Wind Ensemble (where I served as principal oboist for six years), the EWU Repertory Jazz Orchestra, the EWU Marching Band, and Code Red, Eastern's elite pep band. I received an additional scholarship for my participation in Code Red.

Debugging & Updating

I fixed several broken features to streamline the user experience. I expanded existing features (for example, adding comprehensive playback functionality) and restored features from older versions (for example, a progress component that displays pitches as they are played). I also improved the user interface, including universal color coding on the playback screen.

Quality Control

In this position, I inspect and play-test each oboe reed individually to ensure it meets the company's standards of playability, tone quality, pitch, and cosmetics. I also categorize reeds by strength and continually provide feedback to improve the manufacturing process.

Manufacturing

In this position, I operate light machinery to perform precise manufacturing processes along the oboe and bassoon reed assembly lines.

The NSLS is the largest leadership honor society in the United States, with over 1.8 million members across 800+ chapters. It has helped me grow professionally and personally. Its programs promote leadership skills, help students set and achieve goals, and build community around high academic achievement. Its exclusive platform offers access to a variety of resources, including speaker broadcasts, personalized success plans, and networking events.

Wind Ensemble and Orchestra

I held the principal oboe position in Eastern's Wind Ensemble and Orchestra from Fall 2019 through Spring 2025.

Marching Band

From the 2021 season through the 2025 season, I served as the mellophone section leader in the EWU Marching Band. Responsibilities included attending leadership meetings in addition to regular rehearsals, leading sectional rehearsals, and assisting the band director with various logistical tasks.

Code Red

I was a member of Code Red from the 2021 season until I graduated in 2025. Code Red is an audition-based pep band that performs at many of Eastern's volleyball and basketball games. I held the principal mellophone position in every season I participated.

For one season in 2022, I was the High Brass Technician at Lewis & Clark High School in Spokane, WA. I was responsible for teaching and leading the trumpet and mellophone sections during sectionals, and I helped lead music rehearsals and marching drills.
