A little about me

Portrait of Ian Quack

Hi! I'm Ian Quack. I'm pursuing a combined B.S. in Computer Science and M.S. in CyberSecurity with an interest in Software Engineering at Grand Valley State University, with a minor in Mathematics. Outside of class, I love gaming, playing lacrosse, and watching movies - Good Will Hunting is a favorite.

My Journey

Growing up, I was always fascinated with technology. From building my own computer to beta testing new software, I was always chasing the latest advancements. But it wasn't until my senior year of highschool, when I took a programming class, that I realized I could create the technology that I was waiting for.

Since then, I've immersed myself in code. University classes gave me a solid foundation, but personal projects have been key to pushing my growth as a developer further and faster.
