About Me

Hey! I'm Colson Wells, a Sophomore at the University of Notre Dame studying Computer Science and English. I was born in Toronto, Canada but have lived most of my life in Indianapolis, IN. I am passionate about the intersections between software development and human creativity, especially concerning generative AI. I also love creative writing and have written countless stories, poems, and a full-length YA novel. In addition to writing, I have designed and published multiple board and card games. Whenever I get the chance to get away from the computer I also love the outdoors and running.
