Available for hire fromNegotiable
I am a senior at the University of Rochester studying Computer Science. My background in research and software engineering has given me the skillset necessary to succeed at intense problem-solving, as I have become accustomed to continually working on problems with no immediately available or known solution. My broad understanding of an array of topics in Computer Science, from artificial intelligence and machine learning to computer vision, data science, and web development, prove invaluable in solving a wide range of software engineering, data analysis and research problems. Additionally, my extensive experience in mathematical problem solving through advanced mathematics courses has given me robust logical reasoning skills that prove incredibly useful in dealing with the myriad layers of abstraction that developers, engineers, analysts and researchers alike encounter on a daily basis. I have strong confidence in my ability to clearly convey original ideas and be a team player, enhanced through success and leadership in my college debate team. I am currently looking for a chance to receive valuable experience in industry and hone my skills on working on more practical, real-world problems and solutions. Languages: Java, Python, HTML, CSS, Ruby. Tools: Git, Bash shell/scripting, Linux. Frameworks and libraries: RESTful API's, PyTorch, Numpy, React, Rails. Skills: Data Science and Analytics, Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Data Structures and Algorithms, Object-Oriented Programming.
