My passion for computer science was born from an obsession with the elegance of poetry in elementary school, inspiration from the plethora of feats programs can accomplish, and the creativity inherent to creating both. At its best, programming is the art of crafting practical poetry, and I aspire to ensure all the code I write lives up to these ideals.
Throughout my career I've strived to build both my soft skills (by volunteering and tutoring) as well as technical skills (through internships and coursework).

This is a website prototyped with Figma and built using MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js in collaboration with the Voiceflow CTO to help retail companies make chatbots more efficiently. Using transcripts, we create a bubble chart depicting which user intents are most frequent, allowing developers to prioritize these actions when creating their chatbots.
