I am a devoted recent UC Berkeley graduate (Fall 2024). During my academic tenure at Berkeley, I focused my studies on the nexus of Data Science, Computer Science, Cognitive Science, and Psychology, while maintaining a 4.0 across all four fields of study. I have expertise in Python, SQL, Ruby, Java, and JavaScript, and have particular focuses on Machine Learning, Data Science, Deep Learning, Natural Language Processing, and Full-Stack Development. Through hands-on experience as a Technical Project Manager at UC Berkeley and internships at Blackhawk Network and Liberty Mutual, I’ve learned to lead teams, solve complex problems, and create scalable digital products. I thrive on integrating emerging technologies—like computer vision and advanced NLP—into practical applications, and I’m driven by a commitment to teamwork, adaptability, and attention to detail. Ultimately, my goal is to leverage my broad academic foundation and real-world experience to build robust, solutions in the tech industry.
