I’m a junior at Binghamton University, majoring in Computer Science with a focus on machine learning and artificial intelligence. As captain of the NCAA Division I Men’s Swimming and Diving team, I lead my team while balancing a demanding training schedule alongside my studies. These experiences have strengthened my leadership skills, organization, and ability to work toward shared goals.In addition to my athletic commitments, I actively contribute to the tech community at Binghamton. I work at the Emerging Technology Studio (ETS), where I help students, faculty, and staff develop skills in 3D printing, 2D/3D design, and 3D scanning.Beyond the classroom, I founded StackHacks, a student-run organization that helps students build their coding skills and prepare for professional success. At StackHacks, we develop projects ranging from web development to game development, ensuring that all members, regardless of skill level, complete meaningful projects each semester. I grew the organization from 6 to 42 members in one year by expanding our marketing strategies and forming partnerships with university departments.I have strong technical skills in Python, C++, HTML, JavaScript, and machine learning frameworks like TensorFlow and OpenCV. I am excited to apply these skills to real-world challenges in the tech industry. Through my research on deepfake audio defense and personal coding projects, I continuously seek opportunities to grow and make meaningful contributions.I am always open to expanding my personal and professional network.
