About Me

I'm Weston Pangle

I am a recent graduate from the University of Michigan, graduating with a Bachelor's in Computer Science Engineering. I have previously worked as an orientation leader at the University of Michigan, as well as developed larger scale Computer Science projects in my Video Game Design & Development class (our game won 1st at the game showcase!) and Michigan Data Science Team.

Outside of my profession, I find enjoyment in a multitude of different activities. Some of my longest running interests are basketball (OKC fan since I started watching), video games (ask me about some of my favorites, there are too many I could go on talking about), and collecting colognes (featured on this website!). Some other activities I found interest in recently include weightlifting, photography, and cars!

I hope you enjoyed learning more about me! The section below includes my academic and leadership experience. If you have time, check out some of the projects in my project section! Some of my favorite projects I worked on that I would like to highlight are underlined!
