What I'm looking for
I am a Computer Science student at Illinois Institute of Technology who designs and implements practical software solutions with attention to security, user experience, and maintainability. I’ve built a VS Code AI-powered code security scanner, full-stack web applications, and performant AI game agents while applying modern toolchains like TypeScript, Flask, MySQL, Webpack, and Jest.
I contribute in team settings and leadership roles, driving measurable results such as a 15% boost in user interactivity for a Spotify-based feature and a 20% increase in recruitment for a student chapter. I provide technical support, mentor peers, and pursue engineering work that combines solid engineering practices with clear product thinking.
