What I'm looking for

I seek hands‑on engineering roles building full‑stack or AI tools in collaborative teams that value accessibility, testing, and CI/CD, with opportunities for product impact and technical growth.

I am a Computer Science student at Temple University with hands‑on experience building full‑stack applications and AI-driven developer tools. I have contributed to accessible multiplayer game research, shipped web platforms, and engineered a VS Code extension published to the marketplace.

In internships I automated analytics workflows, reduced manual reporting time, and improved operational metrics; in research I designed game mechanics and analyzed gameplay to support children using AAC devices. I hold an AWS Cloud Practitioner certification and maintain strong academic performance (GPA 3.8).

I am detail‑oriented, product‑focused, and experienced across the software development lifecycle — from designing APIs and databases to implementing CI/CD and testing — and I enjoy building tools that improve collaboration and accessibility.
