Hello, I'm Nico. I'm a Software Developer, Game Dev, Novice Cyber Security Analyst, Website Designer, & Website Dev. I'm a Computer Science Major - Junior at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. I enjoy building sites & apps.
About me
I'm a computer science student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Intitute set to graduate in May of 2026. My favorite part of CS is being able to create. I love the feeling of accomplishment when finishing a project. I am currently looking for an intern position as a software developer.
When I'm not coding, I enjoy weightlifting, watching movies, playing chess, and playing video games. I also enjoy learning new things I am currently learning about psychology and astronomy.
