Aspiring software engineer with a focus on innovative solutions.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated software engineer intern currently honing my skills at Bell Automation Systems, where I optimize real-time data visualization and integrate APIs to enhance backend development. My academic journey at the University of South Florida, where I maintain a 3.62 GPA, has equipped me with a solid foundation in computer science, particularly in data structures, algorithms, and software development.
In addition to my internship, I have experience as a coding instructor at CodeWizardsHQ, where I teach programming languages such as C++, Java, and Python. This role has allowed me to mentor students, fostering their critical thinking and problem-solving skills. My freelance web development projects have further refined my ability to create responsive websites that prioritize user experience through performance optimization.
My passion for technology extends to my projects, including the development of an augmented reality app, PlantARium, which enhances botanical education. I also created TradeTrend, a C++ application that visualizes stock data and integrates machine learning algorithms. I thrive in collaborative environments and am eager to contribute to innovative projects that push the boundaries of technology.
