My name is Briggs Twitchell. I'm a student at Northeastern University pursuing a masters in computer science. My areas of study include software engineering, machine learning, and web development. I grew up outside of Erie, Pennsylvania but have strong ties to the state of Maine. I obtained my undergrad degree in accounting at St. Joe's University in Philadelphia. Upon graduating, I worked at BerryDunn as a CPA before I decided to make an early career switch into software.
I am interested in many different things. Depending on the time of year, I enjoy writing & playing music, reading non-fiction, meditating, learning French, enjoying the outdoors, reading moral philosophy, and practicing Effective Altruism. I'm a Giving What We Can Pledge member and an animal rights activist. I'm searching to align my career with many of these passions.
