I am a recent Computer Science graduate from Arizona State University who is passionate about software engineering. I previously interned at Amazon where I worked on automating the installation and updating of Stata, a data science tool, in AWS SageMaker for the Research Science team. I am currently a Software Development Engineer I for Amazon Pharmacy. In my free time, I enjoy watching movies, playing video games, and lots of ping-pong.🏓
