Veritas Academy
I graduated Veritas Academy, a small private university-style school, in 2023, among a class of fifty.
Hey, I’m Adam!
I’m a software developer, musician, and writer based in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
I’m passionate about so many things and care about first impressions—for that reason I’ve written all the text on this website myself. (Why?)
I hope by looking around you can get to know more about the things I care about and do.
Education

I will graduate from Calvin University in 2027 with a bachelor’s degree in computer science. At Calvin, I have been deeply involved in the computer science, engineering, and music departments in professional and creative projects.

Personal
Hackathon participation
I participated in and won two university department programming competitions, where teams or individuals worked to solve as many programming challenges in a few hours.
Hack the Lab
I participated in Hack the Lab at Michigan Labs and won (by over a factor of 10 points versus second place!) with my good friend Nick Roberts. The competition was won without the use of AI.
