Education

2023 - Present

Bachelor of Science in Computer Science

Concentration in Computer Engineering
Stanford University

Throughout my time at Stanford I have taken coursework involving computer systems as well as data structures and algorithms. Throughout my studies I hope to explore the intersection between computer engineering and AI to further the field of technology as a whole.

Experience

June 2024 - August 2024

Computational Astrophysics Research Fellow

University of California, Santa Cruz

Throughout my research associated with the Lamat Research Fellowship I worked on creating a synthetic population model simulating both M dwarves and brown dwarves in our galaxy. In the end, I was able to generate a structured database documenting these objects and their evolving stellar properties (e.g. effective temperature, mass, luminosity) over time, utilizing recent evolutionary models for low-mass stars and sub-stellar objects.

March 2024 - June 2024

SOLE LaIR Helper

Stanford University, Society of Latinx Engineers

Throughout the spring quarter I was a part of a team that provided support to over 100 students per quarter enrolled in Stanford’s introductory CS106A and CS106B courses in Python and C++ by offering weekly assistance in debugging and troubleshooting code issues during support sessions.

June 2022 - August 2022

MIT Introduction to Technology, Engineering, and Science (MITES) Semester, Student Scholar

Massachusetts Institute of Technology

As part of our Biomedical Engineering Course we researched and constructed a simple neural network model in MATLAB with 97% accuracy to predict epileptic seizures by utilizing brainwave data of both non-epileptic and epileptic persons.

Skills

I have experience in the following languages:
  • Python
  • C++
  • C
  • Javascript
  • HTML5
  • CSS3
