Code ๐๐๐๐๐๐ me. Being able to create massive applications like CS-GO, YouTube, and even LinkedIn from a couple (hundreds of thousands) of keystrokes of code is extremely impressive. The best part of it all? Anyone, with a combination of determination and creativity, can code a giant application from scratch, from the depths of their room, just with a small laptop.That is, in fact, how I started coding. Before my Junior year of high school, I disliked computer science for its complexness and abstractness. Now, however, I appreciate those qualities. I began to enjoy computer science, specifically data science and software engineering, after completing a couple of introductory-level coding projects. Still, there were many times I wanted to quit due to the stress of debugging and failing miserably at doing so.That was over 4 years ago. Through sheer determination and creativity, I've expanded my knowledge of computer science to limits beyond what I could have imagined. Completing complex personal projects, research opportunities, and challenging coursework at Carnegie Mellon University have certainly helped me achieve a strong foundation in all aspects of computer science. Now, I'm ready to take my perseverance, ingenuity, and leadership to a company where I can meaningfully contribute and positively impact the world around me with a couple keystrokes of code.

Ncssm Mentorship Summer Research ProgramNorth Carolina State University Apr 2020 - Aug 2020Raleigh, North Carolina, United StatesUnder the guidance of Dr. John Muth of North Carolina State University, my research delved into the impact that quarantine had on the mental health of Americans. However, instead of using a traditional approach of polling subjects, my research used data mining and big data techniques to accurately sketch trends in mental health after quarantine. When subjects are polled, they are consciously aware that they are being polled, thus leading to results that may be subjective and biased. Instead, I used the Google Trends API to gather my data, and then analyzed it with Python. I also experimented with Django and Javascript for visualizations and SQL for data querying. -
