Hi, I'm Evan, a CS student at Penn State passionate about AI/ML software. I've built automated insurance quote workflows @ Truvo, ML models @ Tredence, co-founded Canvas Classmate, and serve as Vice President of ML@PSU.

My passion for computer science began at age 8, configuring plugins on my Minecraft server!

In my free time, I train muay thai, cook, and weightlift. These activities teach me discipline and perseverance I bring to my software engineering.
