Who am I?

I'm a passionate Software Engineer with expertise in full-stack development, data science, and machine learning. I've built Full stack Projects like a custom Job Search Platform and also worked on Machine Learning projects like Sentiment Analysis for 20M+ reviews, fine-tuning models like DistilBERT, and Designing ML pipelines that improved defect detection by 30%.

I graduated from Northern Kentucky University with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and a minor in Data Science. Throughout my academic journey, I developed a deep interest in solving complex problems and building innovative solutions.

When I'm not coding, you can find me exploring new technologies, contributing to open-source projects, or participating in community events. I'm always eager to learn and grow in this ever-evolving field.
