🎓 Computer Science Student @ University of Illinois at Chicago | Expected Graduation: December 2026

I'm a passionate developer dedicated to building impactful, accessible technology. My core focus is on full-stack development and leveraging data structures, algorithms, and systems programming to solve real-world problems.

I have professional experience developing a Gemini LLM to support efficient grant-making decisions and implementing screening tools with Firebase. I also have experience as a Programming Practicum Teaching Assistant at UIC. I'm currently seeking a Software Engineering Internship for Summer 2026.

• WorldWise Travel Application (React.js, JavaScript): A full-stack application built with React 18 for travel tracking, featuring interactive world maps using the Leaflet.js mapping library and React Context API for global state management.
• Pathfinding Application (C++): Developed a real-world pathfinding tool using C++ to compute shortest paths on UIC's campus by modeling locations and paths as a weighted, directed graph.
• Software Engineering Internship (DPI/A Better Chicago): Developed and fine-tuned a Gemini LLM on existing training data and created a medical assessment tool that implemented user response storage using Firebase.
