Computer Science sophomore minoring in Machine Learning. Last summer I built and shipped AI agents at Pfizer that took manual data work off analysts' plates. I'm looking for internships and co-ops in AI, data and software.

I like building tools that save people real time.

I'm a sophomore at Stevens studying Computer Science with a minor in Machine Learning, and I hold a 3.8 GPA. My coursework covers both sides of the field: the math behind machine learning (linear algebra, probability, multivariable calculus) and the systems underneath it (data structures, algorithms, computer architecture, ARM64 assembly).

At Pfizer I learned that a useful AI agent starts with listening. I met one-on-one with data scientists and business stakeholders, scoped where automation would help most, then built and tested agents in Databricks and Microsoft Copilot until they were accurate enough to rely on.

Outside of school I'm the technology associate at Pawsome Vita, a pet-care business in Jersey City, where I set up and support the systems the team uses every day. I've also spent years fundraising for maternal and child healthcare in Kosovo. I speak English and Albanian, plus some Spanish.

Experience

Pfizer · New York, NY

May – Aug 2026

Data Science Intern

Gathered requirements in 1:1s with data scientists and business stakeholders, then built and deployed AI agents in Databricks and Microsoft Copilot that automated large-scale data categorization analysts had been doing by hand.
Developed the DQS AI agent as a Databricks Genie space on IQVIA's Data Query System, a global platform for selecting clinical trial sites and investigators. Stakeholders can now ask plain-English questions and get self-service access to quality data.
Raised agent accuracy and efficiency by writing and running manual test cases, then refining prompts, instructions and agent logic based on the results.
Delivered a portfolio categorization project using AI-assisted classification to organize portfolio data for downstream analysis.

DQS AI Agent

A Databricks Genie space built on IQVIA's Data Query System, the database Pfizer uses to identify, evaluate and select clinical trial sites and investigators. Instead of writing queries, stakeholders ask questions in plain English and get answers from quality data. I tuned it through rounds of manual test cases, adjusting prompts, instructions and logic after each pass.

Portfolio Categorization

Applied AI-assisted classification to organize portfolio data for downstream analysis, replacing categorization that had been done manually.

Game development

2-D Java Arcade Game

An interactive arcade game, more than 1,000 lines of Java Swing, built on an object-oriented architecture with collision detection. I debugged and optimized it for stable frame rates and responsive controls.
