Hello, I'm Henry

Background

Hello! I'm Henry Monteith, a passionate Computer Science student at the University of South Carolina. My love for technology began at around the age of nine, with a simple fascination with computers and how they work. That fascination has since blossomed into a deep passion for software, problem-solving, and innovation.

Over the years, I have honed my software engineering skills through both my coursework and through building various exciting projects in my free time. Some of my personal favorites are Dot, a full-stack social media application created with the goal of fostering a positive, meaningful, and authentic online experience using NLP techniques, as well as Cinder, a real-time, end-to-end encrypted chat application created with user privacy and anonymity at its core.

I have also taken interest in other fields, such as cybersecurity, leading my high school's cybersecurity team to several top finishes in competitions such as CyberPatriot and the Palmetto Cyber Defense Competition. One of my more recent interests is the field of machine learning and data science, which I have been learning more about and experimenting with in projects like Dot.

When I'm not programming, you can find me exploring the great outdoors, playing video games (my personal favorites are Super Smash Bros., Overwatch, and rhythm games), listening to music (I love all genres), or studying for classes.

Above all, I love learning, building new things, and meeting new people, because there is always more to learn, more to build, and more people to meet. I am always looking for new opportunities to learn, grow, and connect with others, so if you have any opportunities or just want to chat, feel free to reach out to me!
