I am jiggletaco, I like to make life simple & enjoyable :)

Welcome to my domain.

I am currently a CS student at Stevens Institute of Technology and a soon-to-be Software Engineer, passionate about building full-stack applications, machine learning, and engineering personal solutions.

All else: let's keep this brief and casual. I guess this is where I tell you a bit about myself. Well, I like to climb cool rocks (feel free to reach out to climb), I will definitely try out every piano I spot, and I enjoy nature.
