Resume

Hi! my name is Tariq Williams and I am a senior at Kalamazoo College, where I am pursuing a double major in Mathematics and Economics , along with a minor in computer science.

As I began my job search, I quickly realized that a one-page resume simply didn't do justice to the breadth of my skills and achievements, and thus, I crafted this website to present a comprehensive representation of who I am and also demonstrate the unique blend of my technical expertise in computer science and my eye for design , despite my academic background in mathematics and economics.
