Hi, I'm Spencer Cowles 👋

I'm a second-year at UC San Diego, majoring in Mathematics and Computer Science and minoring in Economics. As an active member of Triton Unmanned Aerial Systems (TUAS) and Triton Consulting Group (TCG), I collaborate with fellow students to deliver real-world projects while gaining hands-on experience in full-stack development and technical consulting.

In my free time, I enjoy discovering new music, playing basketball, and expanding my vinyl collection. I'd love to connect and chat about any of these interests or tech in general, so feel free to reach out!
