I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in Computer Science at Columbia University and am actively seeking internship or full-time opportunities in software engineering. Specializing in backend development, I am proficient in C and C++, and I also have experience in full-stack development using technologies such as Python, JavaScript, React, SQL, and MongoDB. Additionally, my skills extend to operating system Linux kernel development with C.

Looking forward to leveraging my diverse technical expertise to contribute to innovative projects.

With a strong foundation in software engineering, I've gained valuable experience through roles and projects that highlight my technical expertise. During an internship at STEP Technology Inc., I optimized communication middleware, achieving a 20% speed boost, and ensured reliability with extensive testing. As a Teaching Assistant at Dickinson College, I supported students in Calculus and discrete math.

My involvement in Linux OS Kernel Development at Columbia University involved intricate kernel module implementation and file system design. Additionally, I worked on diverse projects such as a distributed book search engine, a Twitter-like forum app, and a meteorological data management system, showcasing my skills in distributed systems, web development, and database optimization

I am a cuurent Master's studnet in Computer Science at Columbia University. I enrolled in software system track, with a focus in SaaS, Operating System, Cloud Computing and Database.
