Coda Javandel

Academically, I have a Bachelor of Computer Science with a personal fascination with abstract algebra and discrete mathematics. While attending college, I made it my job to help the students who struggled to make sense of their professors’ teaching constructs. I am currently pursuing a second degree in Civil Engineering, owing to my affinity for diagnosing and drafting solutions for infrastructure problems (including those at the household level.)
