Hey! I'm Dani

Hey! I'm Dani, an undergraduate student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison majoring in Computer Science and Data Science. I'm passionate about software development and UX design!


Outside of academics, I enjoy playing 2D video games, building custom keyboards, and working on creative projects with Adobe software. I also love spending time with my two cats, Yemi and Blanca.
