about me

With a background in Computer Systems Engineering and experience from a U.S. semester exchange program, I’ve cultivated a strong interest in Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Cybersecurity, and Data Science. Currently, I’m pursuing a Master's in Engineering Data Science at the University of Houston, where I’m eager to deepen my expertise. I’m driven by a passion for tackling real-world challenges and am committed to applying my knowledge in ways that can make a meaningful difference.

My studies in Computer Systems Engineering have provided me with a solid grasp of both hardware and software. I've developed skills in programming, object-oriented programming, data structures, algorithms, circuits, and AI. Being a Global UGRAD Alumnus and studying in the U.S. expanded my worldview, giving me a broader perspective on global issues. Now, at the University of Houston, I’m focused on using this foundation to innovate in Data Science and contribute to meaningful advancements in the field.
