Software Engineer
About Me
I am a dedicated and highly skilled software engineer with a strong academic background and hands-on experience in software development, research, and machine learning. Currently, I am pursuing a Master of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, maintaining a perfect GPA of 4.00. Previously, I earned my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Queen’s University with a high GPA of 4.05.
Throughout my internships and work experiences, I have developed expertise in building scalable software solutions, including a RAG-based Text-to-SQL system and tools for data analysis and visualization. I have contributed to projects that leverage advanced machine learning techniques such as Transformer-based GANs for synthetic data generation and CNN models for traffic sign classification.
I am proficient in multiple programming languages including Java, Python, C/C++, SQL, and JavaScript, and familiar with frameworks and tools such as Git, Docker, GCP, PyTorch, FastAPI, and React. My certifications in AWS Machine Learning and Azure AI Fundamentals further demonstrate my commitment to continuous learning and professional growth.
I have a passion for developing innovative AI-powered applications, as evidenced by my AI Tour Guide PWA project that integrates image recognition with GPT-powered dialogue for real-time user interaction. I am also experienced in deploying secure backend services using technologies like Nginx and TLS.
My work has been recognized through awards such as 3rd Place at the HERE Technologies Hackathon 2025 and consistent inclusion on the Dean's Honor List. I have also contributed to academic publications in the field of AI and cybersecurity.
I am eager to apply my skills and knowledge to challenging software engineering roles where I can contribute to impactful projects and continue advancing my expertise in AI and software development.
