What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, encourages learning, and allows me to apply my skills in machine learning and software development.

As a dedicated software engineering intern, I have collaborated on innovative projects that leverage machine learning to enhance decision-making in dynamic environments. My experience includes building a high-performance trade signal generation pipeline for fintech clients, where I utilized advanced algorithms such as Random Forest and Logistic Regression to deliver actionable insights. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my ability to optimize risk-reward ratios and predict trade outcomes, ensuring reliability and efficiency in all my projects.

In addition to my technical skills, I have taken on leadership roles, guiding interns and new hires in understanding complex workflows and tools like AutoCAD. My passion for technology is evident in my academic pursuits at the University of Virginia, where I am honing my skills in computer science and mathematics. I thrive in collaborative environments and am eager to contribute to projects that push the boundaries of technology while fostering a culture of innovation and continuous learning.
