I graduated in May 2025 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science, having completed the rigorous 4-year program in just 3 years due to Advanced Placement (AP) credits. I maintained an exceptional 3.98/4.00 Grade Point Average (GPA) and was consistently on the Dean's List every semester.

Throughout my studies, I immersed myself in core computer science, engineering, and mathematics, building expertise in key technical areas. My Computer Science coursework provided a deep foundation in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), Data Structures, Runtime Complexity, advanced algorithms, dynamic programming, and randomized algorithms. In Computer Engineering, I gained extensive knowledge of low-level programming, virtual memory, concurrency, persistent/distributed file systems, cache locality, and CPU architecture, alongside studies in compilers for custom language design. My Computer Graphics focus was on leveraging the GPU rendering pipeline. My strong Mathematics background spans Linear Algebra, Discrete Math, Numerical Methods, and advanced Calculus, enhancing my understanding of proofs, multidimensional systems, and differential equations. This rigorous and comprehensive academic approach has honed my technical and problem-solving skills for complex programmatic challenges.
