about me

Hey there! I'm Alex. I'm passionate about diving into new tech and software applications, constantly seeking to learn and explore the latest innovations in fields like AI, Space, and Medtech. When I'm not focused on expanding my knowledge, you'll find me training hard for a marathon or a triathlon, or gaming online with friends. In my downtime, I cherish quality moments at home with my boyfriend or exploring all New England has to offer.
