Who Am I?

Hi! My name is Howard, and I'm an undergraduate student at RIT studying Software Engineering (BS) & Cybersecurity (MS), and minoring in Mathematics & Chinese. I'm currently seeking a software engineering internship to expand my industry experience and knowledge, and utilize my skills to help make an impact on the world.

I love designing and building full-stack applications, and learning new technologies. Outside of programming, I enjoy dancing, listening to music, spending time with my girlfriend and friends, learning languages, and playing videogames! I'm always looking for opportunities to develop my knowledge, career, and personal growth. Feel free to reach out!
