ABOUT ME

My journey started in sunny Florida, where I began my master’s studies in computer science. As I delved into the fascinating world of machine learning and artificial intelligence, I was completely drawn in. It wasn’t just the Python code or the intricacies of SQL queries that fascinated me, it was the opportunity to solve complex problems and create something meaningful from a maze of data. I soon realized that I thrived under pressure, handling tight deadlines and high workloads. The real game changer, though, was stepping into the role of a research assistant, where I got the chance to apply all the theories and models I’d learned, making them a reality. This was a turning point, shifting my academic interest into a passionate pursuit.

 

As I was immersing myself in the realm of AI and ML, I discovered another passion – full-stack web development and software design. As an aspiring Software Developer Engineer, I found a different kind of joy in creating software applications from scratch. Whether it was drafting lines of code in Java or Python, leveraging the cloud services of AWS and MS Azure, or experimenting with Docker, every new experience added a vibrant stroke to the canvas of my professional journey. Handling databases using PostgreSQL or collaborating within a team to deliver a project on time, these experiences honed my skills and fueled my passion. It’s been a roller coaster ride, full of learning and excitement, and I’m looking forward to where this journey will take me next.
