What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster growth, creativity, and collaboration in technology.

I am a dedicated computer science student at Rutgers University, where I am pursuing a B.S. in Computer Science and a B.A. in History, graduating Magna Cum Laude. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid understanding of programming principles and data management, complemented by a diverse historical perspective. I have consistently maintained a GPA of 3.75, reflecting my commitment to excellence in my studies.

In my recent internships, I have gained practical experience in digital humanities and social justice research. At the Digital Humanities Initiative, I contributed to website updates using Ruby, Jekyll, Docker, and SQL, while also creating engaging content to promote the initiative's mission. My role at the Southern Poverty Law Center involved monitoring and analyzing hate groups, allowing me to apply my research skills in a meaningful context. Additionally, I have developed personal projects like Jetpack Tag!, a multiplayer game, and GoFish+, a Discord bot, showcasing my programming abilities and creativity.
