About
MY BACKGROUND
A University of Texas alumnus in the field of psychology, I've changed the lives of children and adolescents with developmental disabilities and mental disorders by teaching them the skills needed to adapt to the world around them. I've also conducted research in an effort to further academic understanding of autism, depression, and cognition. After rekindling a passion with computers and learning through my work as a researcher, I am now pursuing software development and currently conducting research in parallelization techniques for the Efficient Computing Lab at Texas State University.
