Summary
I’m a Computer Science graduate with a diverse mix of experiences across AI research, cybersecurity, software development, and technical documentation. Over the years, I’ve explored everything from building graph-based models to detect attacks, to improving data workflows with SQL, to creating clear technical documentation for engineering teams, including NASA’s LET Test Bed.
I enjoy solving problems, making complex ideas easy to understand, and improving the systems I work with whether that’s through cleaner code, streamlined processes, or better communication. Alongside my technical work, I’ve gained strong people skills through roles that required patience, clarity, and responsibility. I’m looking to bring this blend of analytical thinking, curiosity, and hands-on experience into a role in AI, cybersecurity, or software engineering, where I can keep learning and contribute to meaningful projects.
