What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role in IT that fosters growth and innovation.

I am a dedicated Information Technology student at Rutgers University, pursuing a Bachelor’s degree with a minor in Business Administration. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in various IT disciplines, including cloud computing, programming, and artificial intelligence. I thrive on challenges and have a passion for leveraging technology to solve real-world problems.

During my externship at CGI, I collaborated with a talented team to develop an AI-driven solution for sentiment analysis, which significantly improved customer support operations. My role involved both front-end and back-end development, allowing me to apply my technical skills in a practical setting. Additionally, my internship at GBCS Group provided me with hands-on experience in cybersecurity, where I implemented security best practices and conducted vulnerability assessments, enhancing the company's cybersecurity posture.
