Ph.D. Student at Northern Illinois University utilizing machine learning and natural language processing techniques to conduct research. I am interested in machine learning, software engineering, human computer interaction, and gamification of education. I am passionate about computer science and programming. In my spare time I make and play video games. I founded the Indie Game Developer's Organization at Northern Illinois University to help students learn about programming and game development using the Unity game engine.
