ABOUT ME

I am an aspiring sophomore in Computer Science and Geographic Information Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. I aspire to design software and use relevant knowledge and skills to make an impactful contribution to communities, solve problems, and effectively automate tasks. I am interning at OrgOrg, a YC24 Startup founded by Ex-SWE at Google, where I am utilizing React.js, Next.js, and SQL to add a video conferencing app to the suite of products that OrgOrg offers for organizations. This video conferencing app in the suite will allow employees in an organization to video conference each other about a certain project that they are working on, or just to destress mentally! Additionally, I am an ex-Software Engineering Fellow at Headstarter AI where I had the chance to create 5 AI projects and network with software engineers.
