  • 2021 CS Louis T. Rader Undergraduate Service Award Winner: Zachary Goldstein

    About Zachary:
    I am a graduating BS Commerce & BS CS 2nd major student. I've always loved the intersection of business and computer science and glad that I pursued both during my time at UVA. I'm passionate about data science/visualization and cybersecurity, but I've recently been exploring ways to use embedded devices. I have also been getting into game design and cryptocurrencies. This semester, I made both of these into independent studies and got the opportunity to explore ways to use my CS skills on fun projects.
