About
Iowa State University of Science and Technology (ISU) is a public university in Iowa. It offers degree programs in various fields, but it prides itself on its engineering and science programs most of all.
I attended Iowa State University for their quality engineering programs and reasonable cost shortly after graduating from high school.
Education
Bachelor of Science, Software Engineering
I completed the curriculum for Iowa State University’s Software Engineering program in December 2023 with a cumulative GPA of 3.12.
Senior Design
My Senior Design project (a.k.a., capstone) was titled “Interactive Evaluation of Shortest Path Methods”. The team I was a part of set out to develop a comprehensive solution for executing and comparing arbitrary shortest path algorithms, including a visualizer; my role was to develop the backend logic in its entirety as well as write the documentation for the project. The client was Goce Trajcevski, who also served as our advisor throughout the two semesters of Senior Design.
