I am a passionate software developer who enjoys solving problems and learning new things. With experience in programming, AI development, data analysis, and teaching, I am looking to build a stable career where I can continue growing and put my skills to meaningful use.
At a young age, I was a very compassionate person. Oftentimes, my parents would have to stop me from giving away my toys. I even lost an Easter egg hunt because I kept giving my eggs to other kids.
I was also raised alongside my older brother, Pascal, who is a caring and creative soul. While I struggled with education, my mother eventually pulled me out of public school because of bullying. I would eventually start attending a private school called Counterpane Montessori School.
At Counterpane Montessori, the different education style allowed me to develop at my own pace. I built many relationships and completed many year-long research papers on subjects like immigration, comic books, and game development. Counterpane Montessori instilled a love of education and lifelong learning that I carried with me into university.
After high school, I attended Kennesaw State University (KSU), earning a Bachelor of Science in Computer Game Design and Development. My studies focused on software development and game development, where I particularly excelled in courses such as Data Structures and User-Centered Design. Outside the classroom, I participated in the Young Democrats and Model United Nations, often taking on leadership roles. I graduated in May 2023 and went on to pursue a master’s degree later that year.
Moving into the master's program brought its own challenges. I worked on many different projects utilizing machine learning, AI robotics, natural language processing, and more. Alongside my studies, I worked two jobs. My primary job was teaching undergraduate labs at KSU, my second job was at a local archery range. I earned my degree to deepen my knowledge of computer science and emerging artificial intelligence technologies.
What comes next?
Employment. I have built my knowledge and skills through a variety of projects, and now I would like to build my professional experience and help shape the future of software. While I would like to pursue a PhD one day, my current focus is on gaining real-world experience.
