About Me

I'm a senior at the University of Maryland, studying computer science with a concentration in machine learning. My interest is in AI/ML, backend, and DevOps. I was a Data Intern at Visalaw.ai, where I streamlined LLM dataset curation by engineering an automated data ingestion workflow in Python. My most recent role was as a SWE Intern on the DevSecOps team @ Knack Works, where I gained experience with Kubernetes, CI/CD, and the Rust programming language. Other than coding, I'm interested in basketball, traveling, and science fiction novels.
