I have maintained a GPA of 3.89, demonstrating my commitment to excellence in my studies.

Throughout my time at university, I have honed my leadership and organizational skills by captaining the SOU men’s soccer team and serving as a Resident Assistant. Balancing these responsibilities with part-time work has taught me effective time management and the importance of teamwork. My technical skills include proficiency in languages such as Python, C#, and JavaScript, as well as experience with tools like Docker and GitHub. I have successfully completed projects that showcase my ability to create full-stack applications and perform data analysis, further solidifying my expertise in software development.
