About Me
About me
I’m a CS Major at Cornell University interested in starting my own company and working in the tech industry.
My main interests in the tech industry reside in artificial intelligence and virtual reality.
I was first introduced to programming through Lego robots in 6th grade. I took classes in high school for coding including AP CS A and AP CS Principles. During my first year in college at UMass Amherst I took two computer science discrete math courses. I will continue with more CS courses in the fall at Cornell. Throughout the years I’ve also completed many personal coding projects, some of which I have featured on the portfolio page.
The computer science courses I took at UMass were CS 240 and CS 250. In CS 240 we learned about counting problems, probability definitions, distributions, types of random variables, Markov and Chebyshev bounds, Laws of large numbers, central limit theorem, probabilistic reasoning, Bayes’ Law, Markov Chains, Bayesian Networks, and Markov Decision Processes. In CS 250 we learned Number Theory, Induction, Trees, Searching, Regular Expressions, Finite-State Machines, Computability.
Skills
In high school I mostly worked in java, with the occasional branch into other languages. However, in my UMass courses, there was almost no coding at all, which reminded me that programming is more about understanding the concepts and structure than about memorizing the syntax of a particular language. I don’t find it particularly hard to learn syntax, as the logic is mostly what I see while writing code.
Work Experience
July 2020 - March 2021
Dial America
Project Lead Internship
I worked on a smaller team to convert existing flash player files to HTML5 before Flash Players EOL date. Afterward, I led a project to set up and use Qvidian Proposal Management and RFP Response software to increase the number of RFPs the company is able to respond to.

Software Development Intern
I worked with a team of software engineers on certain projects including an automated SQL database error reporter, for which I wrote code in javascript that would interact with HTML and SQL as well. I also assisted developers through code review.

Tutoring
Math Tutor
During high school I worked as a math tutor for a student in middle school. While the material wasn't particularly hard, it gave me a chance to practice different forms of teaching, and I learned how to break concepts down into fundamentals and explain them in different ways.
