About Me

Hi, I’m Cole

I’m a Computer Science & Engineering student at The Ohio State University with interests in software engineering, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, systems, and data-driven technologies. I enjoy building practical solutions that solve real-world problems while continuously learning new technologies and improving as an engineer, teammate, and leader.

Outside of code

When I’m not working on code, I care a lot about people, community, and personal growth. I enjoy spending time with friends, playing and following sports, serving in ministry, and being part of teams where people encourage each other and work toward a shared goal.
