resume
I'm Allison Ramasami, I have degrees in mathematics and computer science/cybersecurity, and I like to code things. My main passions are video games and anything security related, computer or physical. Whether it's coding an application, troubleshooting me and my friends' devices, or reading up on the latest exploit, I can learn just about anything when put to the test.
