Summary
As a Computer Engineering student at the University at Buffalo, I am driven and enthusiastic with a continued interest in computers and tech from my childhood. I have gathered the knowledge and skills to code, develop software, and the general engineering field through attending hackathons, DECA competitions, and collaborative academic projects.
I am proficient in writing computer programs (Python, C/C++, Java) and capable of designing UIs as well as conducting data analytics. I have had experience during which I effectively solved problems and worked as a team. I am aiming to give back to the community, help and guide my fellow students, and I plan to put my technical skills into practice in the "real world" through internships and professional openings.
I am a quality that the environment can adjust, a quality that continually makes new things, and a quality that has the inner drive to find the solution that will eventually make an impact.
