About Me

I’m a Computer Science major at the University of Pittsburgh, graduating in August 2025 with a minor in Economics. Over the past two summers, I interned at PNC Financial Services, where I worked on automation and DevOps projects. I developed API integrations that processed over 100,000 submissions, automated reporting systems that reduced hours of manual work to minutes, and optimized CI/CD pipelines using tools like FastAPI, Docker, and OpenShift. Outside of work, I lead diversity-focused student organizations like the Minority Association in Computing, where I manage corporate sponsorships and mentorship programs to help underrepresented students grow in tech. I’ve also built full-stack apps and ML-based systems through personal projects, which have taught me how to collaborate in fast-paced, team-based environments. I'm passionate about building scalable systems and tools that empower others, and I’m excited about roles where I can combine engineering, efficiency, and impact. Especially at companies that sits at the intersection of tech and finance.
