Oliver and his family immigrated from Costa Rica. His father was a part-time custodian for Blessed Sacrament School in Paterson where Oliver went to elementary school with the help of Tri-County Scholarship Fund. Oliver then qualified for the Tri-County Freedom Scholarship to attend DePaul Catholic High School where he continued to excel and graduated in 2016.
With a strong academic foundation from his hardwork at the excellent Tri-County partner schools that he attended, Oliver was admitted to the Honors College at William Paterson University, where he majored in computer science and minored in mathematics. While pursuing his under graduate degree, Tri-County facilitated his connection with Chubb Insurance where he was offered a summer intership in data science.
Said Oliver, “Tri-County not only gave me the opportunity to receive an excellent education that I would not have gotten out of the Paterson school system, but also the connections to land a data science internship at Chubb Insurance in college. I’m so thankful for the opportunities Tri-County afforded me and how I have been able to grow since then.
In spring of 2020, Oliver graduated summa cum laude from William Paterson and received the school's Omicron Omega award for excellence in computer science. He then went on to pursue a Ph.D. in computer science at New Jersey Institue of Technology Ying Wu College of Computing. His research involves the design and implementation of algorithms in the areas of high- performance analytics, data science, and graph analytics.
As he completes his Ph.D. requirements, Oliver has been offered a position at Hewlett Packard. Congratulations Oliver!
