About Me
Hello I'm Nick!
I'm a sophomore Computer Science and Economics student at UMass Amherst. At a young age, I played chess professionally, and that helped me form a passion for solving problems and pushing myself intellectually!
I look forward to building a career centered around technology and finance, leveraging my expertise to make meaningful contributions to whatever I'm working on.
Outside of a professional setting, I enjoy playing chess recreationally, running, hiking, and cooking/trying new foods!
