What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a collaborative environment where I can grow my coding skills and contribute to innovative projects.

I'm a dedicated computer science student at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, expected to graduate in May 2025. My academic journey has been enriched by a minor in Black Studies and a focus on programming languages and database management. As a BJC Scholar, I've engaged in coursework that includes Calculus, Data Structures, and Web Systems Development, which has equipped me with a solid technical foundation.

During my internship at Less Annoying CRM, I collaborated with a team of developers, honing my skills in JavaScript, PHP, MySQL, and more. I successfully presented my summer project, showcasing my ability to communicate complex ideas effectively. My passion for coding is reflected in my projects, such as the Water Festival web application and the Finished social platform, where I utilized various technologies to create interactive and user-friendly experiences.
