Hi my name is Dean! I am currently a software engineering intern in the space systems program at Northrop Grumman. I am a computer science major and I love innovation. I want to be able to make an impact on the world with my work. I hope to one day be working on the cutting edge of technology and bring forth innovation that will benefit the world. I am an exceptionally hard working and motivated individual. I believe my strongest trait (and sometimes demise) is my determination and stubborn perfectionism. I make it my goal to do my absolute best at whatever I set my mind to. Whether it is something minuscule like cleaning or working on a project, I often find myself draining hours into my work with unwavering focus. I also consider myself a very fast learner as I have many different hobbies and I am constantly picking up new ones. Currently my main hobbies include mixed martial arts and making music. I taught myself how to play the guitar and piano and I occasionally play the drums. I also like to play a lot of sports. Throughout my life I have played on baseball, soccer, and lacrosse teams. In high school, I was captain of my lacrosse team for two years which helped develop my leadership skills.
