Senior CS student building practical AI agent skills

I am a UIC senior learning to design AI agents and dashboards to make data-driven automation practical for real problems.

Work samples

Portfolio work includes the Wayfair n8n AI Agent Engineering externship, where I designed AI agents that plan and act on data and built a live dashboard to demonstrate their output.

    Wayfair n8n AI Agent Engineering Externship

    Learn one of the most in-demand skills shaping the future of work: building AI agents. In this externship, you’ll step into the role of an AI Agent Developer and use n8n to design agents that think, plan, and act on real data — automating insights, decisions, and workflows. No coding experience required. By the end, you’ll create a live dashboard powered by your own AI agents, gaining hands-on experience that applies to any role or industry — from marketing and consulting to product management and data science.

    Built a Python job-search pipeline that aggregates jobs from multiple sources, filters and deduplicates postings, and deterministically scores roles against candidate skills, experience, and location. Developed automated resume and cover-letter tailoring with an optional LLM layer for structured generation and a deterministic validation system to prevent unsupported experience, skills, employers, and metrics. Implemented SQLite persistence, modular source integrations with failure isolation, CLI execution, application tracking, and automated tests.

About me

I am a UIC senior learning to design AI agents and dashboards to make data-driven automation practical for real problems.

I am a senior Computer Science student at the University of Illinois Chicago, finishing my bachelor's degree. I have limited formal work experience and I am focused on quickly strengthening my resume. I completed the Wayfair n8n AI Agent Engineering externship to gain hands-on experience building AI agents and dashboards.

Overview

The externship produced runnable AI agent workflows built in n8n and a live n8n environment. Work included installing and configuring n8n, creating prompt-driven workflow nodes, and connecting agent outputs to a dashboard. Deliverables recorded a running n8n instance and deployed agent workflows.

Wayfair n8n AI Agent Engineering Externship

What I've accomplished

I built and deployed agent workflows in n8n, including a prompt node that converted color and furniture inputs into moodboard-style outputs and documented differences between prompt variants.

Project breakdown

During the moodboard generator project I created a Prompt Node, fed it color+furniture inputs, and reviewed the agent outputs. I compared prompts like "Blue Couch" and "Red Beanbag," noting unexpected descriptive details the agent added.
