Hi! I'm CJ.

I'm a 21.423185808-year-old senior at Cornell University studying Computer Science. I'm from north New Jersey, although I've really spent most of my life in Oklahoma.

My love for computers and technology began at a young age, and I'm incredibly amazed and passionate at how much technology is changing the state of the world every year.

ACSU Website

Collaborated with a 5-member team to completely overhaul the website of Cornell's Association of Computer Science Undergraduates. I mainly worked on redesigning the Resources section of the site, which hosts thousands of words for helpful program and course information regarding CS at Cornell. Also drank lots of bubble tea with the team. :)
