What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and growth, where I can apply my research skills and technical expertise to real-world challenges.

I am a dedicated computer science graduate student at Northern Arizona University, where I maintain a perfect GPA of 4.00. My academic journey has been marked by a strong focus on research, particularly in the field of machine learning. My thesis, titled “Diabetic Retinopathy Diagnosis Using Deep Learning,” showcases my ability to conduct independent research and implement complex algorithms using convolutional neural networks.

Throughout my academic career, I have contributed to several notable publications, including presentations at international conferences. My collaborative spirit shines through in my role as a Graduate Teaching Assistant, where I support fellow students in mastering programming languages like C and Python. I am passionate about leveraging my technical skills and research experience to make a meaningful impact in the field of computer science.
