COMPUTER SCIENCE

Although I started off never wanting to program, I quickly fell in love with the crazy world of Artificial Intelligence, and learning how to code was the first step in that journey. It started off with me getting Udemy-certified in Python and Machine Learning, followed by self-teaching myself minimum HTML, JavaScript, and CSS to learn how to create a front-end site for my backend Python programs. Through gaining a base level understanding in all of these programming languages, I insured that I would be able to have  a left to stand on in any kinds of technical conversations with members of the engineering team of the startups I worked at. 

I started off my passion for Artifical Intelligence at Cogo Labs, now called Link Studios as an intern with my friend Jack Blundin. Link Studios is an investment firm that specializes in companies utilizing AI. I interned there for two years, where I worked with some of the companies Link invested in. I started by learning programming skills for a few months before working on projects. Then, the following year, Jack and I began working on a passion project called Inherent AI. Through Link, I was able to have great opportunities and go to events like MIT CSAIL and Imagination in Action

After interning for a couple of years at Link Studios, my friend Jack and I attracted the attention of Blitzy AI, a startup company that can generate and refactor massive amounts of code at once. Jack and I, along with the rest of the intern team, worked on testing the model against the modern-day AI benchmarks to get Blitzy's name out there as the leading AI coding engine. As an AI Engineering Fellow, I got many opportunities to meet cool people and go to unique places. This fellowship has helped me build my teamwork and programming skills, along with viewing how media content can help with promoting a business, a big part of Blitzy's plan.
