I am an enthusiastic and results-driven Computer Science student at Virginia Tech, where I’m also pursuing a master’s in Data Analytics and AI. With a strong passion for data science, machine learning, and software development, I thrive on solving complex problems and uncovering actionable insights from data. I expect to graduate in December 2025, and I am actively seeking opportunities to apply my skills in real-world scenarios.

I am always open to connecting with like-minded professionals, exploring new opportunities, or discussing the latest trends in AI and data science. Let’s chat about how we can collaborate and drive innovation together!
