Michael Lizzio

Software Engineering Major at RIT

Aspiring software engineer with strong communication skills and a passion for sharing knowledge and collaborating on complex and challenging problems. I work mostly in Python, with a foundational understanding of several other languages, and I'm eager to expand my knowledge and keep learning new skills.

A six-photo collage: skiing through falling snow, two swimmers standing in the surf, a beach at dusk, family and a dog beside a lighthouse, skis held overhead on a foggy slope, and a foosball table at home rigged with an overhead camera mount.

Selected work

The ones I’d show you first, with the story and artifacts behind each build.
