What I'm looking for

I seek a junior-to-mid-level role building AI-enabled software or cloud-native applications with collaborative teams, growth opportunities, and hands-on impact.

I am a junior software developer passionate about building AI-driven, user-friendly software that improves experiences and operational efficiency.

I have practical experience in Python, web development, and machine learning from internships and projects where I developed models for data-driven insights and contributed to responsive web solutions.

My background includes hands-on work with Azure cloud services, CI/CD pipelines, database management, and infrastructure-as-code, as well as collaborative project work and volunteer experience supporting community programs.

I bring strong problem-solving, adaptability, and attention to detail, and I am committed to continuous learning to deliver measurable value and exceed project objectives.
