About Me

Hi my name is Alex and I'm currently in my third year studying business and computer science. I have a deep interest for all things tech and I hope to pursue a career in software engineering one day. Currently I'm a Software Engineer intern at SupportingLines. I also take time outside of school to partake in case competitions and hackathons. Outside of work and school, I'm an avid ultimate frisbee player and I like to keep up with the NBA. I also have a firm passion for cooking and travelling.
