About Me
A computer science student who has always been fascinated by the heights of technological advancement. From getting inspired by Ironman's Jarvis to figuring out how everything works on my laptop, studying computer science has only enabled me to be more curious and bring solutions to real-world problems. Learning a programming language and seeing what special thing I can do with it is somewhat a silly trait of mine, but this has led me to learn and experiment with languages such as C++, Java, Python, and more.
I’ve had the opportunity to work on exciting initiatives as a Research Assistant, from building AI-based learning chatbots to developing algorithms to streamline quantitative analyses. Through my experiences and projects, I’ve discovered the power of combining creativity and technology to solve challenges.
Besides computer science, I’m deeply interested in reading about philosophy, astrophysics, and literature. These subjects broaden my perspective and help me stay creative, always looking for new ways to approach a situation. For the same reason, I enjoy watching F1 races, as it makes me think about the efficiency of the cars and how every detail affects their mechanics.
I’m passionate about designing solutions that make an impact, whether by empowering underrepresented communities in STEM or contributing to advancements in AI and software development. My vision is to keep learning, innovating, and making technology accessible and meaningful for everyone.
Here are my technical skills:
