From a young age, I loved technology and knew I wanted to work in a technical field. After years of robotics competitions, math homework, and standardized tests I was finally able to enroll in the university of my dreams ready to learn and grow my technical and interpersonal skills. I am currently a senior at Duke University pursuing projects in data science and software engineering. During my years at Duke, I have learned how to be an effective and independent engineer and computer scientist. I am now proficient in object-oriented programming languages including Java, Python, and C++. Likewise, I greatly enjoy working on programming projects as a part of a team and am capable in using revision control systems such as Git to manage large projects. I also am skilled in data analytics and database management using SQL/RDBMS.I am now only one year away from achieving my dream of becoming an engineer and computer scientist. As I look to the future I am excited to finish my final year at Duke. Likewise, I am excited and prepared to begin my professional career as a data engineer with Syngenta.
