Riley Barshak.

Full-Stack Software Engineer

Always learning.
Usually building something.

I'm a computer science student at RIT. I love building things, learning from others, and passing along what I can.

Hi, I'm Riley!

A bit about me

There's always something I'm working on.

I love learning new things and getting my hands on interesting projects, whether that's building software, messing with electronics, or spending way too long trying to get something silly to work.

I'm studying computer science and software engineering at RIT, where I'm also part of the Computer Science House. I love being surrounded by people who are just as excited about building things as I am, and I especially enjoy helping others learn something new or get their own projects off the ground.
