Computer Science Master's Graduate - Actively Seeking Opportunities

profile-picture

A little about me,

About

I hold a master’s degree in Computer Science from CSU Long Beach, where I honed my skills in research, machine learning, and software engineering. My passion for integrating emerging technologies has greatly enhanced my professional and personal growth.

During my time at CSU Long Beach’s D2 Lab, I led a research project focused on boosting academia-industry collaboration, notably with Boeing. My research utilized gaze analytics to predict pilot success and failure, achieving an impressive 83% accuracy. This study highlighted the potential of gaze analytics in creating advanced tools for improving safety and evaluating pilot performance.

In addition to my research, I have experience as a teaching assistant and junior software engineer. These roles have sharpened my ability to tackle complex technical challenges, communicate effective solutions, and drive innovative projects to successful outcomes.
