Education

I graduated with a B.Sc in Information Science from the University of Maryland, College Park, completing my degree in just three years—a testament to my dedication and ability to thrive under pressure. My curriculum was rich with a variety of foundational and advanced topics, from Network Architecture and Database Design to the critical aspects of Big Data ethics. Additionally, my coursework in Privacy, Security, and Ethics in Big Data further solidified my understanding of the security challenges and ethical considerations in today’s digital landscape. I also deepened my technical toolkit through courses in Dynamic Web Applications and Object-Oriented Programming, which have been crucial in honing my coding and software development skills. By applying these principles in real-world projects, I've been able to effectively bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and practical application.
