About

I am senior pursing my Batchelor's of Science in Computer Science and Software Engineering, and Information Assurance and Cybersecurity at the University of Washington. I am a Undergraduate Research Assistant, where I am developing machine learning algorithms to enhance bioinformatics tools for CRISPR gene editing and migrating a yeast cell analyzer into a full-stack Django web interface to make them more accessible for researchers. I also freelance as a tutor, helping students understand data structures, algorithms, and core CS concepts. I am actively seeking opportunities in software engineering and data science/analytics. If you would like to chat, feel free to reach out!
