About

Myself

I am a recent graduate with BS in Computer Science with Data Science Concentration from University of Massachusetts Lowell. I have a deep passion for problem solving and am interested in software development. My interests and curiosity in patterns have opened my eyes to data science and the vast field that I hope to learn more of.

Besides writing code and problem solving, I love the outdoors and outdoor activities. You will often catch me on trails hiking with friends or riding my bike along the Charles River.

Projects

Some of my recent works
Java (2020)

File Type Analyzer

Developed a tool that determines the file type using the specific file type pattern contained within the binary data of the file. Implemented the Knuth-Morris-Pratt and Rabin-Karp algorithm and applied multithreading concepts while searching and sorting the file types patterns.
