Hi, I'm Noah! I'm a sophomore at Pitt, but I'm originally from the DMV. I'm an aspiring software engineer majoring in CS, minoring in philosophy, and seeking a certificate in sustainability. I love playing ultimate, listening to music (especially live!), playing guitar and bass, hiking, reading magical realism books and Wikipedia articles, going to the gym, attending synagogue, and working on coding side projects (ever since I joined Scratch in 2014). I hope you enjoy my website :)

In fall 2024, I started work as a research assistant in VR development for HeritageRoots and as a teaching assistant for Pitt SCI's introductory Python class. In summer 2024, I made this website! In spring 2024, my research on creativity in ancient Greece was published. In summer 2023, I worked as a food runner at a Mexican restaurant. During the 2022-2023 academic year, I put school on hold to work on 8 farms (and visit 10 national parks!) across the USA. For summer 2022, I worked as a counselor at an overnight camp. During the 2020 election cycle, I volunteered and interned on a presidential and senate campaign.

Last updated December 29, 2024. This site was my first project using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It was also my first frontend project. The wonderful pixelated font is from GGBot. I generated favicon files with a tool by John Sorrentino. I learned lots from W3Schools and various YouTube tutorials. The intro animation is Conway's Game of Life, a type of cellular automaton. The letter "N" in the center is non-interacting at the beginning, but otherwise, everything is true to the rules of CGOL (with borders). The non-central tiles initialize in random states. Dive into the repo to see how I made CGOL work. If you made it this far, see if you can find the random Wikipedia article easter egg!
