I am a software developer and aspiring consultant with a strong interest in data analytics, machine learning, and building technology solutions that solve real business problems. My experience spans full-stack development, AI integration, and analytics, and I enjoy turning complex challenges into practical, user-focused outcomes. I am currently pursuing a B.S. in Engineering: Software Systems at Virginia Tech, with minors in Finance and PPE (Philosophy, Politics, and Economics). My background has helped me build both technical depth and a strong interest in using data and technology to support business strategy and decision-making. Through my projects and professional experience, I have worked on a range of solutions across software and analytics. I am currently developing Calendify, an AI-powered productivity app designed to improve task scheduling and workflow optimization. This has involved building a custom TensorFlow model alongside full-stack development using modern web technologies. Previously, I worked at a generative AI startup where I helped turn a founder’s concept into a production-ready web application by integrating Gemini AI, developing frontend features, and supporting backend systems. I have also completed freelance software projects for clients, including a trading dashboard, a business verification tool using the Middesk API, and other custom applications. I have also continued building my consulting and analytics experience through case and strategy work. Most recently, I placed 3rd in Deloitte’s 10th Annual Data Analytics Case Competition, where I analyzed a real-world dataset in Tableau and helped present recommendations to judges, including a Deloitte partner. I also serve as a Junior Strategist with REM on Campus, collaborating on consulting work for local small businesses. I am especially interested in opportunities at the intersection of technology, consulting, and data analytics, where I can combine technical skills, problem-solving, and communication to create meaningful impact.
