What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster growth, innovation, and collaboration in tech.

I am a dedicated computer science student at Case Western Reserve University, where I maintain a GPA of 3.8 while pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with a minor in Mathematics. My academic journey has been enriched by coursework in data structures, algorithms, and multivariable calculus, alongside notable achievements such as the Point Wells Fargo Scholarship and being on the Dean’s High Honors List.

In my professional experience, I have taken on roles that blend education and technology. As an Education Innovation Fellowship Intern at Eskwelabs, I automated assessment development, significantly reducing content creation time and enhancing personalized evaluations. My role as a Quantitative Developer at CWRU Quants allowed me to refine backtesting accuracy in collaboration with industry professionals, while my teaching assistantship has enabled me to support over 150 students, achieving the highest satisfaction ratings in the course's history.
