Computer scientist building AI-driven full-stack applications.
What I'm looking for
I am a computer scientist with hands-on experience building full-stack applications and AI-driven automation tools. I blend frontend design skills using React Native and Figma with backend development in Python, Django, Node.js, and SQL databases to deliver production-ready systems.
I have shipped projects that reduced manual work by 80%, implemented secure cross-platform authentication, and created proof-of-concept integrations of LLM queries with visualization tools to drive data-informed decisions. I also contributed to accessibility and documentation efforts, translating technical features into clear user guidance.
I seek to apply my experience in AI, automation, and end-to-end product development at organizations that value user-centered design, data-driven solutions, and collaborative teams where I can continue growing in machine learning and systems engineering.
