As a Computer Science student at Northeastern University focusing on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics, I find myself constantly drawn to the intricacies of technology and its potential to improve our lives. My journey began with a fascination for coding that soon evolved into a passion for creating user-centric applications that solve real-world problems. Whether it was through my role as a Teaching Assistant or my hands-on experience as a Software Engineer at Liaizon, I've learned the immense value of collaboration and effective communication in software development.

I’m always eager to connect with fellow tech enthusiasts or collaborate on innovative projects! Feel free to reach out via email if you're interested in discussing software development trends or potential collaborations.
