I joined McMaster-Carr out of college as a new developer having discovered software by way of Economics and Data Science. I've since worked on a variety of web, back-end, and infrastructure projects as both an Engineer, Manager, and most recently as a student completing a Masters in Computer Science at Depaul Univeristy.
