Extracurriculars
Peer Success Coaching - Purdue Academic Success Center
As a Peer Success Coach (PSC), I provide Purdue undergraduate students an opportunity to meet one-on-one as they navigate the college environment and learn to succeed academically, socially, and personally. I meet with a pool of students weekly and biweekly to offer guidance while navigating life at Purdue.
I guide students through...
- Studying for exams
- Time management
- Exploring career options
- Connecting with campus resources and academic advisors
This opportunity has provided me with approaches on how to be an effective coach and mentor to studetns of a wide variety of diciplines and ages. I feel more confident engaging in productive, professional communication with my peers and am learning myself how to be a better student, son, leader, and person. I am thankful for this opportunity and am proud of the students I have helpped succeed.
Undergraduate Teaching Asssistant - ECE 20875, Python for Data Science
I support students in creating and optimizing problem-solving approaches to data science problems by utilizing Python and exploring Python's built in functions, imports, data visualization tools like Matplotlib, and practical applications of libraries like NumPy and Scikit-learn. I hold office hours to assist students with lecture material, approaches to homework solutions, and general Python knowledge.
Purdue Hurling Club Team
Hurling is a traditionally Irish sport that combines elements of field hockey, lacrosse, and rugby. Our club takes pride in representing Purdue University as we compete against other universities accross the country. In April 2023, we participated in the National Collegiate Gaelic Athetic Association (NCGAA) Tournament in Louisville, Kentucky, where we placed 7th in Hurling and 3rd in Gaelic Football.
Long-Distance Running
In my free time, I enjoy running and participating in long-distance running events. In October of 2023, I completed the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon; my first marthon ever! I plan to continue running and will soon start training for the Bayshore Marathon in Traverse City, Michigan.

Personal Projects
Raspberry Pi Wi-Fi Proxy Filter
Through utilization of a Raspberry Pi Zero W, I was able to configure an advanced software solution designed to function as a network-wide ad block. Using the software Pi-hole, I successfully established a Wi-Fi proxy filter that effectively blocks ad requests and queries. This implementation enables seamless ad-blocking across websites, mobile apps, streaming services, and smart TVs without the need for additional local software. By monitoring the traffic routed through the Raspberry Pi, the software is able to stop the requests before they populate to the user, ultimately enhancing network speed and optimizing data consumption. The project includes a user-friendly web interface for convenient interaction and comprehensive network traffic analysis.
