Hi, I'm

Rohan Moniz

I'm a senior studying Computer Science at the University of Pennsylvania.

About Me

Hey! I'm a senior at the University of Pennsylvania pursuing a BSE and MSE in Computer Science, with a minor in Mathematics. I'm an avid learner and problem-solver, and really enjoy working with others. I'm passionate about building systems to solve real-world problems at scale.

Outside of classes and clubs, you can find me watching sports (mainly tennis and basketball), listening to (and occasionally attempting to mix) EDM, eating Milanos, and stalking Beli to find new food spots.
