About Me
Hi! I'm Gram and I build things, from web apps to full stack to IoT. I'm a senior at Carnegie Mellon University pursuing a major in Electrical and Computer Engineering. I'm a big fan of technology and how it changes the way we tackle everything from payments to health care, consistently pushing the boundaries of what we think is possible.
Outside of tech, I also really enjoy cooking! I try to do the food justice by honing the art of food photography over on Instagram.
