Your Name | CS Student

# About

I'm Daniel, a CS student in CMU's School of Computer Science. I graduate in May 2028 and intend to get concentrations in Machine Learning and/or Computer Systems. I have a background in Software Development and am looking for opportunities in Software Engineering, Robotics, or Machine Learning. I'm also looking to get into Machine Learning Research. My strongest skills are in debugging and the end-to-end project development process, so if you have anything interesting, please send me a message! I am always receptive and willing to take agency and ownership.
