About Me
Introduction
I study computer science with a concentration in software at Northeastern University. Some highlights of my coursework so far include Object Oriented Design, Web Development, Algorithms and Data, Computer Systems, and Programming Languages. I take particular interest in effective software design and enjoy finding ways to write more intuitive and efficient programs. I have six months of experience as a software engineer co-op at Wayfair and I'm currently a software engineer co-op at Delsys Inc. working on the Research and Development team.
My Experience
I recently completed a software engineer co-op position at Wayfair. There, as a member of a professional software team, I contributed to business-critical distributed systems, developing new features based on business need, as well as identifying, investigating, and solving a variety of problems. I had the opportunity to collaborate with other engineers on a regular basis, allowing me to gain insight into the architecture, technologies, and business processes integral to the systems developed by our team. At Wayfair, I gathered exposure to many technologies including GraphQL and REST APIs, SQL databases, Docker, Kubernetes, and much more.
My Interests
I am truly passionate about computer science. I enjoy jumping around from topic to topic, learning as much as I can and broadening my knowledge of the field. I also take interest in the area of Computer Science education where I get to share this knowledge with others. I have previously been a Teaching Assistant for courses including Fundamentals of Computer Science, Object-Oriented Design, and Computer Systems, as well as a trained Peer Tutor. In these roles, I individually supported students taking a variety of Computer Science courses, helping them master their coursework, set effective goals, and improve their study strategies. Outside of Computer Science, I love to explore the city of Boston and am currently on a journey to visit as much of it as I can by foot.
Projects
I sincerely enjoy working on personal programming projects in my free time. Check out some of the things I've made.
