Computer Science Engineering Student at The Ohio State University

About Me

Hi, my name is Rory! I'm a senior attending The Ohio State University majoring in Computer Science Engineering with a specialization in software engineering and a minor in business. Even from a young age I've had an interest in technology. However more recently, I have found a love for all things computer science!

The ability to create world changing programs and applications with just some keystrokes is truly amazing to me. I am eager to learn all that I can, and am looking for full time positions to expand my experience!
