What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build production-ready backend features and apply ML to real data problems. I want mentorship, clear system design expectations, and the chance to grow through impactful projects.

I’m an AI-trained Software Engineering student with strong foundations in machine learning concepts, data structures, and backend development. I build functional software systems using Java and Python, with a focus on problem-solving, system design, and data-driven applications.

In mentorship roles, I’ve guided 200+ engineering students through structured technical onboarding and organized 30 engineering-focused project challenges. I also designed and deployed a functional fundraising website, applying UI/UX principles in Figma to improve user engagement and clarity.

My projects reflect a hands-on approach to real capabilities: I built a GUI-based course scheduler with relational database integration and role-based access using CRUD operations, and I developed an image classifier (cats vs. dogs) using transfer learning with VGG16 and ResNet. I thrive on structured logic, data validation, and measurable results—so I can deliver reliable, maintainable systems.
