Company Description
A private, technology-focused university emphasizing hands-on, experiential learning through project-based coursework, industry partnerships, and real-world application across engineering, design, computing, and applied sciences.

My Experience
At Wentworth, I’ve engaged in a curriculum centered on experiential, project-based learning that emphasizes practical application and industry relevance. This environment has strengthened my technical skills in computer science and data analysis while reinforcing the importance of collaboration, clarity, and real-world problem-solving. Beyond the classroom, I’ve participated in the Wentworth Honors Program by attending academic and professional enrichment events, and I serve as a Community Advisor, supporting residential life while helping build an inclusive, supportive environment.

Relevant Coursework

Algorithms

This course introduced me to algorithmic design and analysis, with a focus on assessing the time and space complexity of algorithms for large input sizes. I studied core techniques such as searching, sorting, pattern matching, hashing, and encryption, and learned how algorithmic choices impact performance and scalability.

Database Management Systems

This course introduced me to the concepts and methods used to design, create, query, and manage relational database management systems. I learned how to model databases at the conceptual and logical levels using entity-relationship diagrams, worked with the relational data model and SQL, and studied functional dependencies and normalization to design well-structured databases.

Machine Learning

This course introduced me to the field of machine learning, focusing on algorithms used to identify patterns in data and to predict or generalize rules from those patterns. I learned about supervised learning techniques, including parametric and non-parametric models, kernels, and support vector machines, along with methods for model selection and real-world applications such as medical imaging, drug discovery, and speech and handwriting recognition.

Network Programming

This course introduced me to how modern systems communicate over the Internet, with an emphasis on application programming interfaces common to network programming. I gained practical experience working with multiple operating systems and explored key network protocols relevant to modern computing systems.

Operating Systems

This course introduced me to how operating systems manage hardware resources such as CPU and memory on behalf of user processes. I learned how operating systems control access to hardware and studied algorithms used to manage these resources efficiently. I also implemented programs that interact directly with the operating system using low-level languages such as C.

Software Engineering

This course introduced me to modern techniques in software design and development through a formal, team-based approach. I worked collaboratively on an externally partnered software project, applying structured design practices, version control, and teamwork to build and deliver a real-world application.

Skills Developed

Data Analysis

I learned how to analyze structured data, identify patterns, and evaluate results using statistical and algorithmic approaches across machine learning and analytics-focused coursework.

Algorithmic Thinking

I developed the ability to reason about performance, scalability, and efficiency by analyzing time and space complexity and selecting appropriate algorithmic solutions.

Database Design

I gained experience designing and querying relational databases, and modeling data using entity-relationship diagrams, to build well-structured, reliable database systems.

Systems & Networking

I built an understanding of how software interacts with operating systems and computer networks, and gained hands-on experience working with low-level concepts, APIs, and protocols.

Software Development

Through team-based software engineering projects, I applied structured design practices, collaborated using version control, and contributed to the development of real-world applications in a professional workflow.
