Hi there! I'm Quinn.

During my time at Iowa State University, as an undergraduate in Management Information Systems, I have had the opportunity to work both individually and with groups of other business students to show competency in Python, Java, SQL, HTML, CSS, Interactive Design, and Project Management.

Most recently, I'm mid-way through pursuing a Master of Science in Human Computer Interaction, with additional corresponding work shown below. Most of my coursework has involved Prototyping (Figma, Balsamiq), User Studies, Design for Behavior Change, C, C++, OpenCV, MATLAB, Quantitative Research Methods, and Ethnographic Studies.

Feel free to navigate to the home screen of this website and check out my mobile DJ business!
