About Me
I'm a Computer Science major at Rutgers, with a dual minor in Business Administration and Data Science, possessing strong skills in Python, JavaScript, Vue.js, and React.js.
In my most recent role, I worked as an IT Intern at PSEG. Previously, I've worked as a Frontend Web Developer at Movement Labs, where I enhanced the UI for blockchain partners, and as Chief Technology Officer at Vact, leading the development of mobile app features. In addition, I've worked on client projects through Fiverr as a freelancefull-stack developer, creating coding prep platforms and AI-integrated book catalogs.
Beyond the Code
Outside of my technical work, I'm actively involved in extracurriculars like Rutgers Mobile App Development club and the Competitive Programming club, both of which help sharpen my problem-solving abilities. I'm also passionate about hackathons, and my team even won first place at the 2024 HackRU Hackathon. In my free time, I love diving into personal projects and always look for new ways to grow my technical skills.
