Syracuse CS student focusing on AI, document data extraction, and practical projects to level up my resume.
I am Ezekiel Whitley, a sophomore Computer Science + AI Minor student at Syracuse University pursuing a bachelor's degree. I have some work experience and I'm using a Pfizer externship in AI-powered document insights and data extraction to strengthen my resume and become more competitive for jobs and internships.

A command-line Magic 8-Ball built in Python. Enter your name, ask a yes/no question, and get a classic response (Positive, Neutral, or Negative). Features a continuous play loop, input validation, and personalized greetings. Built using Python 3 and the random module. I optimized the code using dictionaries for responses, tuples for unpacking, and modular functions for clean control flow.
I built a fully functional command-line application in Python from scratch. I implemented a continuous play loop utilizing while True, break, and continue statements. To handle user input, I added robust validation using .strip() and .lower() to gracefully manage edge cases. I also structured the program logically using separate functions to improve readability and flow.
This project significantly leveled up my Python skills. I learned to replace long if/elif chains with dictionaries for better scalability. I mastered tuple unpacking to handle multiple variables efficiently. Furthermore, adopting best practices like f-strings and the if __name__ == "__main__": idiom made my codebase noticeably cleaner, more maintainable, and highly professional.
