What I'm looking for

I seek software or data-focused roles where I can build scalable, user-centered systems, contribute to research-driven projects, and grow in full-stack and ML competencies.

I am a Boston University Computer Science student with hands-on experience in full-stack development, data science, and computational research. I have driven measurable impact through web and software projects—improving site traffic by 30%, accelerating workflows by 65%, and refining research accuracy by 15%—while contributing to interdisciplinary teams and producing production-ready code.

I excel at building scalable, user-focused interfaces and data pipelines using React, Node.js, Python, and cloud tools, and I bring strong QA and testing practices from internships and fellowship work. I seek roles that combine software engineering and data-driven research where I can continue improving performance, accessibility, and research outcomes.
