Software Engineer Intern @ Microsoft
About
I’m someone who genuinely loves building things. If I get an idea, I usually start tinkering with it immediately, and before I know it I’m deep into turning it into something real. I’m a Computer Science student at the University of Florida, and I’m obsessed with learning through hands-on work—projects, experiments, and anything that forces me to think harder than I did yesterday. I’m especially interested in software engineering, cloud infrastructure, and machine learning (and the place where they all overlap). I enjoy building end-to-end systems—starting from a rough concept, figuring out the architecture, writing the code, debugging the annoying parts, and slowly turning it into something clean and usable. I’ve worked on ML-focused projects involving embeddings and data pipelines, and I’m also comfortable going deep into backend development, APIs, and cloud tools when a project needs it. What I like most is the “figuring it out” part. I don’t need everything to be perfectly explained upfront—I’d rather dive in, learn fast, and come out smarter on the other side. I care a lot about becoming a strong engineer not just in theory, but in a way that shows through the things I build, the speed I improve, and the way I solve problems. I’m an incoming Microsoft Azure Data Software Engineering Intern for Summer 2026, and I’m excited to learn from great teams, contribute to real systems at scale, and keep leveling up. If you’re building something ambitious, working on cool technical problems, or just enjoy meeting people who love creating things, I’m always open to connecting.
