Computer Science Senior at CU Boulder
Operations Software Engineer at LASP
ML Research Assistant at GeoHAI
Passionate CS senior with a strong interest in
machine learning, software engineering, and research.
I am in my senior year at CU Boulder where I balance my studies with professional and research experience. I am graduating Fall 2024 with a Bachelors degree in computer science and a minor in information science. I plan to continue my education at CU Boulder by pursuing a research-based Master's degree in computer science with a focus on machine learning starting Fall 2025.
I am learning, working, and doing research to develop my skills in computer science.
Highlighted: Applied Machine Learning, Intro to Artificial Intelligence, Software Development, User-Centered Design, Intro to Data Science, Information Visualization, Technical Communication and Design Cumulative GPA: 3.565
At the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Science (LASP), I work as an Undergraduate Operations Software Engineer where I contribute to the development of critical software for spacecraft flight command and control operations. This experience has honed my technical skills and ability to work in team environments. I have also gained exposure to atmospheric science and working with satellites, which I plan to explore in future machine learning research projects.
As an Undergraduate Machine Learning Research Assistant working at the Geospatial Human-centered Artificial Intelligence (GeoHAI) Lab, I collaborate with my PhD research mentor Julia Romero on developing a novel multimodal machine learning model for video segmentation. This project allows me to delve into my passion for machine learning while fostering valuable research skills. I plan to pursue a research-based Master’s degree in Computer Science with a focus on machine learning to continue my work in the field. This research experience is facilitated through the YOURE@CU Undergraduate Research program. The GeoHAI lab is led by Morteza Karimzadeh.
Throughout my academic journey, I've consistently demonstrated strong leadership and scholarship. A highlight of my course projects was my experience in Software Development where I led a team of four students through the full-stack development of MindScribe, a smart journaling app powered by the ChatGPT API. I worked primarily on the ChatGPT integration, back-end development, and project organization. This project showcased my ability to learn new technologies, build solutions, and lead independent initiatives.
