Applications Engineer Intern
I'm a Computer Science (Cybersecurity) student at Arizona State University with a passion for learning, solving problems, and continuously improving my technical skills. I enjoy understanding how technology works and finding practical solutions that help people and organizations succeed.
Currently, I'm gaining professional experience as an Applications Engineer Intern at University of Phoenix, where I collaborate with an Agile engineering team to develop enterprise software and contribute throughout the software development lifecycle. This experience has strengthened my communication, teamwork, and technical problem-solving skills while giving me valuable insight into how modern technology teams operate.
As I continue building my career, I'm working toward opportunities in Information Technology, where I can combine my software foundation with hands-on experience in IT systems, networking, cybersecurity, and cloud technologies. I enjoy learning new tools, embracing challenges, and continually expanding my knowledge through projects, certifications, and real-world experience.
