Franklin, Wisconsin, United States
Computer Science student at UW–Madison with a Minor in Business graduating May 2025, with hands-on experience in full-stack development, applied machine learning, and systems programming. - Built production-ready web apps using React, Flask, and PostgreSQL, and deployed ML models (XGBoost, MLPs, RNNs) for real-world analytics. - Developed REST APIs, designed normalized databases, and implemented secure, scalable backend services. - Led 40+ students as a Peer Mentor in UI development, and earned awards for innovation and leadership as a Student Custodian Supervisor managing 18+ student custodians. Seeking software engineering roles where I can apply my skills, lead with intention, and keep learning!
Authoring an academic paper investigating the use of AI in predicting customer churn, introducing novel frameworks, comprehensive comparisons of 10+ different models, and providing practical business oriented results. Processed extremely imbalanced and messy real world customer data, and implemented a multitude of machine learning and deep learning methods for churn prediction, focusing on ensemble architectures and a custom Hybrid MLP + XGBoost ensemble designed to improve churn prediction accuracy and enable retention strategies. Optimized models with multiple training objectives (F2, F3 and ROC-AUC scores), providing a more holistic evaluation of performance in real-world, skewed datasets, expanding practical usage of results.
Led development of a full-stack AI system to predict customer churn for Nuu Mobile, driving retention insights and enabling real-time analytics. - Facilitated Google Design Sprints and prototyped user interfaces in Figma - Managed workflow using Jira and Git - Worked closely with clients, attending weekly meetings with stakeholders. - Spearheaded AI model development by processing messy real-world customer data and evaluating 10+ ML and neural network frameworks to optimize recall and accuracy. - Built and deployed Flask REST APIs for seamless front-end and analytics integration. - Contributed to a React-based dashboard visualizing customer behavior and sales trends. - Integrated a PostgreSQL database for efficient data querying and performance. - Containerized the full stack app with Docker and deployed to AWS, enabling real-time insights and scalability.
- Guided 40+ students in advanced UI development principles and best practices. - Provided detailed feedback on 60+ design projects, enhancing usability and functionality. - Enabled students to reduce project completion time by up to 50% through improved UI/UX strategies.
- Directed 18 students to maintain the cleanliness of 3 residence halls which house nearly 1,000 students collectively. - Led a diverse 8 member full-time staff team of non-native English speakers, focusing on building a healthy culture. - Nominated for the ROSE Award, the highest honor given to 1% of student employees for exemplary service. - Streamlined the scheduling process by automating calculations with real-time updates, increasing efficiency 10x.
- Worked in a fast-paced environment as customer service on the sales floor and at the cash register. - Learned how to connect with consumers quickly in order to provide personalized recommendations
