About Me

Passionate Problem Solver

As a recent NYU Computer Science graduate with a perfect 4.0 GPA, I bring both academic excellence and real-world experience to every project. My expertise spans big data engineering, full-stack development, and I'm actively expanding my machine learning skills through advanced coursework.

I've successfully led teams on complex projects, from processing 8,000+ crisis-related posts per hour using Kafka and PySpark to comprehensive transportation analysis for NYU Sustainability. My approach combines technical depth with practical business impact.
