What I'm looking for

I am seeking an entry-level software or data role where I can apply programming, AI, and data-analysis skills, grow technically, and contribute on collaborative teams.

I am a motivated Computer Science student at Arizona State University with hands-on experience designing and developing software projects and a strong foundation in data structures, algorithms, and software engineering principles.

I have built projects in Java, JavaScript, C++, Python, and Node.js, and I lead team projects such as video game development while completing data analysis and SQL-backed projects for an Intel portfolio effort.

I am actively expanding my expertise in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science through coursework, independent study, and certificates including CS50AI and multiple ASU data and coding programs.

I bring a problem-solving mindset, strong coding skills, teamwork experience as a project lead, and enthusiasm for learning emerging technologies to contribute effectively to software or data-focused teams.
