About Me

Hello! My name is Philip Knott, and I am an undergraduate student at the University of Colorado Boulder studying Computer Science. I have a strong interest in Software Development on both the frontend and backend, and I love learning new technologies.

I grew up outside San Francisco in the Bay Area, where I have lived my entire life.

In addition to academics, some of my interests include skiing, tennis, longboarding, biking, and rock-climbing.

Please hire me, I don't want to lifeguard anymore.
