About Me

I’m a junior at Northern Illinois University studying Computer Science, passionate about building and problem-solving. My skills include C++, HTML/CSS, JavaScript, React.js, Unix, SQL databases, and Assembly System 370 ISPF/TSO. I’m also learning Java to expand my expertise. As Chair of the NIU ACM, I enjoy supporting my peers and creating opportunities for collaboration. I’m also involved in undergraduate research with Dr. Jun Zhang, focusing on Classification and Regression Trees and Forests, using tools like GUIDE to strengthen my machine learning and analytical skills. I’m excited to keep learning, growing, and contributing to the tech world. Add me on LinkedIn!

Research

Research with Dr. Jun Zhang

In my research using GUIDE, a multipurpose machine learning algorithm for constructing classification and regression trees, I have further honed analyzation skills. GUIDE stands out because it incorporates statistical hypothesis tests to detect and handle variable interactions.
