Oregon State University 2025 Grad | Project w HP | AWS Certified

I'm a Computer Science student at Oregon State University in Corvallis, graduating in 2025 with a strong 3.86/4.0 GPA. My academic journey has equipped me with a strong foundation in software development, cloud computing, and problem-solving.

As an AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner, I specialize in cloud architectures and services. My experience includes software development at BlackBerry/Cylance, where I worked on RESTful APIs and AWS services, and web development for pathology research at OHSU.

My senior project involves creating an Artificial Intelligence Chatbot in collaboration with Hewlett-Packard Company, allowing me to apply my skills in a real-world industry partnership.

When I'm not coding, you can find me at the gym or cuddling with my cat.
