Hello there! I'm Nikolay, a Computer Science and Economics double major at the University of Maryland.

Currently I'm the sponsorship and finance director @ Bitcamp, the largest beginner-friendly hackathon on the East Coast. I'm also working as an undergraduate TA for 3 courses at UMD: Object Oriented Programming II, Global Economics, and Engineering Ethics.

On the weekends, you'll find me cycling, running, or hanging out in NYC.
