What I'm looking for

I seek engineering or data roles where I can apply ML, automation, and quantitative risk skills, contribute to deployed solutions, and grow in a collaborative, impact-driven team.

I am a fourth-year B.Sc. Computing Science student specializing in Artificial Intelligence with a strong academic record (3.86 GPA, Dean's Honor Roll) and five years of academic and software development internship experience. I build Python-based machine learning models, develop automation and RPA solutions, and apply quantitative risk modelling techniques like Value at Risk, Conditional Tail Expectation, and Monte Carlo Simulation to financial data.

I have delivered measurable impact across municipal, education, and private-sector internships—automating workflows to save thousands of labor hours, leading cloud migrations, improving SEO and client-facing website functionality, and producing analytics automations using Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, PowerBI, and VBA. I communicate with stakeholders, document processes diligently, and enjoy combining technical depth with practical deployment to drive business outcomes.
