    As a soon-to-be graduate in December, with a major in electrical engineering and computer science, I'm excited to channel my enthusiasm for AI and machine learning toward the realms of business and finance. In the domain of business and finance, I envision leveraging machine learning to make predictions that can drive insightful decisions. Drawing upon my deep-rooted interest in these fields, I'm determined to harness the power of data-driven models to forecast market trends, optimize investment portfolios, and enhance decision-making processes. Running parallel to my technical pursuits is a passion for design and web development, disciplines that complement my technical side. As I explore intricate algorithms and analyze market dynamics, I am equally absorbed in crafting immersive, user-centric web experiences. My dedication takes tangible form through dedicated side projects, showcasing my proficiency in Figma, Webflow, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. A pinnacle moment in my journey unfolded with my participation in the European Innovation Academy Program in Porto, Portugal. Stepping into the role of Chief Technology Officer (CTO) for my team, I orchestrated from a leadership vantage point while acquainting myself with the nuanced aspects of business, marketing, and finance. Our team was able to work with many business, marketing, pitching, trademarking, and tech mentors to learn more about what it takes to launch a successful start-up. This experience and exposure have significantly broadened my skill set, equipping me to navigate a diverse spectrum of challenges with adeptness. Currently, I am employed at the Naval Surface Warfare Center as an engineering contractor, a role that enriches my practical experience. Here, I am immersed in supply chain management software and analytics, an opportunity that deepens my understanding of real-world applications of technology and data in complex logistical scenarios. Through this experience, I have learned a lot about supply chain data, while also the business side of administrative work. In the future, I would like to engineer AI-powered instruments that empower enterprises to make good choices, amplify profitability, and navigate the dimensions of finance. The fusion of my proficiency in electrical engineering and computer science with my interest in business, finance, design, and web development positions me to offer substantial contributions to a thriving business ecosystem. All in all, I am just purely fascinated by how machine learning can make the unpredictable more manageable. In an era where the synergy of technology and creativity reshapes industries, I am continuously trying to learn and grow to make a difference in the world.
