Hi, I'm Theo, a 4th-year Majoring in Computer Science and Minoring in Japanese at Boston University. I'm most experienced in full-stack development, data science, and machine learning. I was the former President of the Boston University Japanese Student Association, and I'm currently a Client Engineering Intern at GitStart (YC19).
