About

Hey There!

I am a passionate programmer and developer currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science at the University of South Florida. My academic journey includes courses in Java, Python, data structures, and database systems. I have been recognized with several honors, including the Dean's List of Scholars and certification from the Crestron Technical Institute.

Currently, I am working as a Student Development Assistant at USF, where I develop MuleSoft APIs to reduce manual errors and integrate with third-party systems. I leverage Anypoint Studio, GitHub, and DBeaver to design, develop, and deploy MuleSoft applications. Previously, I interned at Galileo Group Inc., where I integrated facial landmark points and used SimpleITK to improve the accuracy of the results.I aim to achieve one of the following milestones: 1,000 people on a waitlist, 1,000 accounts created, or $1,000 in revenue over the new 6 weeks as a fellowship program at Headstarter
