What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment where I can learn and grow while contributing to impactful projects.

I'm a dedicated software engineering student currently pursuing a B.S. in Computer Science with a GPA of 3.98. My journey into tech is fueled by over a decade of experience operating heavy equipment and leading teams in high-pressure environments. This unique background has instilled in me a strong work ethic, discipline, and a problem-solving mindset that I now apply to my studies and projects in software development.

Throughout my academic career, I have engaged in various projects that emphasize clean code, modular design, and version control using Git. I have a solid foundation in programming languages such as Python, Java, C++, and SQL, and I am proficient in using tools like IntelliJ, Eclipse, and Visual Studio. My goal is to secure an internship or entry-level software role where I can contribute my skills, learn from experienced professionals, and grow into a long-term career in engineering.
