Hi, I'm Bobby

I'm a rising 3rd year Computer Science and Math student at Northeastern University with a passion for problem solving and learning. I love building whatever I can think of. I'm most interested in cloud infrastructure - a passion I found while on co-op at Wolters Kluwer. Outside of my technical interests, you can find me in the gym, listening to music, or running obstacle course races (shoutout Elite Heat).
