What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that fosters growth and innovation.

I am a dedicated computer science student at The Pennsylvania State University, set to graduate in May 2025. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in programming languages and software engineering principles. I have successfully completed a capstone project where I developed a multiplayer 3D Auto Chess Battler using Unity, showcasing my ability to apply theoretical knowledge to practical challenges.

In addition to my technical skills, I have gained valuable experience in customer service through various roles, including as a Retail Associate at Big Lots and a Barista at Starbucks. These positions have honed my communication skills and ability to work effectively in team environments. I am passionate about leveraging my skills in software development to create innovative solutions that enhance user experiences.
