# Zinn Morton > Software Development Engineer @ Adaptive Security Location: New York City Metropolitan Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/zinn I am a Computer Science graduate from Oregon State University with a focus in AI and machine learning. I completed an exchange program at Aoyama Gakuin University in Japan, where I learned about Japanese language, culture, and politics. I am a Grand Catalyst Scholar, having received a prestigious award that supports high-achieving and high-financial-need students in engineering. I have hands-on experience in leading and implementing machine learning projects, as I was the project leader for my team's capstone project with Ampere Scientific. I managed the project's sprints, workload division, and communication with the stakeholders, while also applying anomaly detection algorithms to the data we received. I am proficient in React, Express, MongoDB, CSS, and HTML. I am eager to progress my career and add new tools to my toolkit, and I am looking for opportunities that will challenge me and allow me to help people as a software engineer.
