Hi! My name is Joe Whelpley. I am a 3rd year Computer Science Student at the University of Notre Dame with a minor in Business. This website highlights my coding skills and work experience as I pursue my career in technology.

While at Notre Dame I have developed a strong love of coding and all its vast applications from Linux to robotics. Even so, I find myself particularly drawn to full-stack and backend development, cybersecurity, and data analytics.

Beyond coding, my activities include: singing as a Tenor 1 in the Notre Dame Glee Club, teaching and discussing Philosophy, and engaging in community service. These activities not only enrich my life but also provide me with diverse perspectives that I bring into my work.
