What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can build ML-informed, user-focused software in collaborative teams, with opportunities to grow full-stack and cloud skills.

I am a motivated computer science student with hands-on experience building full-stack web applications and end-to-end machine learning pipelines. I have engineered data scraping and cleaning tools, developed predictive models with SciKit-Learn, and built secure RESTful applications using Python, Flask, and SQLite while applying cloud services such as AWS to deploy and scale components.

My background includes practical frontend work with React and Styled-Components, performance optimization through effective state management, and production-oriented development practices (testing, modular architecture, and version control). I bring leadership and teamwork experience from trade roles where I led crews, improved workflow efficiency, and enforced quality control—skills I apply to technical projects to deliver reliable, maintainable solutions.
