What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role where I can grow my skills, contribute to impactful projects, and be part of a collaborative team.

I am an aspiring IT professional with a Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology from George Mason University, set to graduate in Spring 2025. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in programming languages such as Python and Java, as well as essential IT skills in database management and cybersecurity. I am passionate about leveraging technology to solve real-world problems and enhance user experiences.

Throughout my studies, I have developed several applications, including an applicant management system for a university, which streamlines the application process for both candidates and professors. My projects also include a password management system and a mortgage calculator, showcasing my ability to apply programming fundamentals effectively. I thrive in collaborative environments and am eager to contribute my skills to innovative projects.
