Clifford Reeve M.

Graduate Assistant @ Virginia Tech

About

I’m a graduate Computer Engineering student focused on building real-world backend and cloud systems, not just coursework projects. • Built backend services and applications using Python, working with APIs and relational databases. • Deployed and experimented with systems on AWS, using Docker to manage environments and deployments. • Worked on ML-driven projects, including RAG-based pipelines, computer vision tasks, and model explainability. • Strong fundamentals in data structures, networking, and system-level thinking. I enjoy turning ambiguous problems into working software and care deeply about system design, reliability, and clarity of implementation.
