What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and growth in AI and software development.

I am an undergraduate student at Purdue University pursuing a Bachelor’s of Science in Honors Computer Engineering with a minor in Entrepreneurship. My academic journey has been enriched by hands-on experiences, including my role as an Undergraduate Researcher at CourseMIRROR, where I co-authored significant research papers presented at prestigious conferences. My work focuses on leveraging AI and NLP to enhance educational outcomes, showcasing my commitment to integrating technology in meaningful ways.

In addition to my research, I gained practical experience as a Software Engineering Intern at Zoetis, where I implemented advanced networking protocols and contributed to the development of innovative veterinary diagnostic tools. My technical skills span various programming languages and frameworks, including Python, JavaScript, and SystemVerilog, allowing me to tackle complex problems creatively and effectively.

Beyond my technical expertise, I have actively engaged in leadership roles, such as co-leading the Logistics Division for TEDxPurdueU and mentoring freshman engineering students. These experiences have honed my communication skills and reinforced my passion for fostering collaboration and innovation in technology.
