0 Plus Software/ Hardware Project Completed
I'm Will, and I just graduated from Washington University in St. Louis with a Masters of Science in Computer Engineering. Prior to that, I completed my undergrad at WashU as well where I earned both a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering and a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, as well as a Minor in Mathematics. I'm passionate about computer hardware and software, and combining them both into something amazing! I'm currently seeking full time roles in these areas.
