About Me
I am a highly motivated Computer Science student at Rutgers University, consistently named to the Dean's List and a recipient of the SAS Excellence Scholarship. My academic focus is on foundational and advanced topics including Data Structures, Systems Programming, and Software Engineering.
Outside the classroom, I work as a Mathematics Learning Assistant, where I lead collaborative sessions for 20+ students and partner with faculty to design data-driven learning interventions. This role has sharpened my ability to communicate complex technical ideas and mentor peers in logic-based problem-solving. I am driven by a passion for debugging, creating efficient programs, and tackling challenging problems.
