What I'm looking for

I seek roles building secure, user-centered web applications or entry-level cybersecurity positions where I can apply authentication, backend, and cloud skills while growing through mentorship and impactful projects.

I am a computer science student at Washington University in St. Louis focused on building secure, full‑stack web applications and developing practical cybersecurity expertise. I have delivered end‑to‑end projects—implementing OAuth 2.0, bcrypt password hashing, JWT sessions, and Google Calendar integration—while maintaining strong academic performance (GPA 3.82) and relevant certifications.

I bring hands‑on internship experience designing scalable backends with MongoDB, implementing multi‑factor authentication, and parsing complex data for automation. I actively compete in CTFs, contribute in team design projects, and pursue continuous professional growth through programs like the Thrive Scholars career development track.
