Computer Science Student @ UVA | AI & Software Development | Tech Solutions & Cybersecurity Enthusiast | Seeking 2026 Tech Internship

Chantilly, Virginia, United States

About

I’m a second-year Computer Science student at the University of Virginia (GPA 3.71, Dean’s List) with experience in Software development, AI development, and game design. I enjoy solving complex problems through coding and have built projects ranging from an employee database management system to an AI-powered club recommender for UVA students. With hands-on experience as a Technology Support Specialist intern at Fairfax County Public Schools, I’ve developed strong technical development and troubleshooting, project management, and communication skills. Outside the classroom, I’ve competed nationally in Cyber Patriot cybersecurity competitions, taught leadership through Taekwondo, and contributed to STEM outreach. I’m eager to grow through internships in software engineering, AI/ML, or technology consulting, where I can combine my technical expertise and leadership background to drive meaningful impact. Please feel free to reach out at [email protected] or [email protected].
