I am Raul O. Gomez, a rising senior from El Paso, Texas, pursuing my dream of becoming a software engineer with a focus on full-stack development and data analytics. 🎓 Education & Academic Excellence I've earned my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at the University of Texas at El Paso in December 2025. I've gained hands-on experience as a student researcher, including roles such as Generative AI Researcher at Ohio State University, where I led a team to refine and deploy generative models, and as a Natural Language Processing Researcher at UTEP, where I contributed to improving speech synthesizers. These experiences have honed my ability to lead and innovate.
- Implemented advanced generative modeling techniques using PyTorch, Google Collab, and Python through rigorous coursework and hands-on projects within a highly selective program of 25 researchers - Fine-tuned a GPT-2 LLM on ~1 million tokens of Shakespearean poems using PyTorch, improving performance by 10% - Led a team of 3 to author detailed project reports documenting methodologies and showcasing the results in panel discussions and presentations to 10 postdoctoral and PhD mentors
