I build portfolio work that blends OCR, LLMs, and RAG to automate real PDF workflows and show practical skills to employers.
I am a sophomore Computer Science student at Rowan University working toward a bachelors degree. I have some practical experience and I'm building portfolio projects to strengthen my resume and compete for internships and entry-level roles. I recently completed an AI-focused externship that applied OCR, large language models, and retrieval-augmented generation to document workflows.

Turn six messy CSVs into an analytics database and a Q4 dashboard that drives real business decisions. SQL + Claude.
The externship involved consolidating six messy CSV data sources into a structured analytics database and producing a Q4 dashboard. The work mapped source tables, documented field meanings and limitations, and prepared the data for downstream SQL modeling and dashboarding.
I inventoried six data sources, authored SQL queries against the supplied SQLite database, and produced a Week 1 Holiday Game Plan containing data summaries and five instant query results.
On Day 1 I inventoried six data sources, wrote SQL queries against the supplied SQLite database, and recorded five instant answers. The submission produced a Week 1 Holiday Game Plan document with data summaries and query outputs.
