ABOUT ME

"I get machines to predict the future by connecting the dots in the past."

I am a graduate student at the University of Southern California pursuing a master's degree in Computer Science.

I am a technology enthusiast who is fascinated by full-stack development and machine learning. I takes pleasure in solving problems. Whether it's developing a data-driven safest path for Google Maps or employing Blockchain to combat the illegal trading of donated organs, I actively seek out challenges.

Currently, I am appointed at the University of Southern California as a Teaching Assistant for a professor and a Research Assistant for a senior Ph.D. student. Throughout my career, I have demonstrated an ability to collaborate and execute with colleagues of different seniority, whether they be classmates, seniors, managers, or upper management.

Additionally, I have obtained nearly a year of work experience during my academic career. I had the opportunity to work alongside the regular school at the United Nations Office for Information and Communications Technology (UN OICT) as a Software Engineering Intern and Ernst & Young as a Data Analyst Intern, where I honed my technical skills in web application development and programming, as well as professional abilities such as problem-solving, product critical thinking, and the ability to communicate effectively.

As someone who is capable of identifying latent and expressed needs for effective solutions, I am dedicated to leveraging technology in order to create high-quality solutions for everyone.

When I am not working with cutting-edge technology, I frequently volunteer for community service at CRY.

Software Engineering and Data Science excite me, and may dominate my sphere of work for the years to come.
