Software Engineer
Computer Science at Duke '26. New Grad.
Prev. SWE Intern at BTG Pactual Bank, SWE Intern at Duke Code+ Program.
About Me
My experience has been based on listening and understanding the needs, actively talking to people to create meaningful solutions. I am at my best when listening to high level ideas, engaging with them to extract insights, and translating them into tech.
At Duke, I could engage with Computer Science through a human-centric lens. With an arts and sciences education, I gave myself time to explore the technical and social implications of technology. I want to create technology that serves a purpose and scales as a difference to someone's daily life.
My internships at BTG Pactual and Duke Code+ reinforced this. Whether shaping the auth of the bank for small and medium businesses, or collaborating with the Facilities Department of my University, I found purpose in the work I did through stakeholder vision and technical execution.

Projects
Rep counters don't say much to users. So I built an ESP32 workout coach that calls the OpenAI API in real time, returning streams of bench press exercise sensor data for on-device feedback (rep count, imbalance, tempo, rest quality), emphasizing UX, reliability, and human-readable insights on the device display.
Built a Copilot Studio extension using Azure Maps Search/Routing to return geo-personalized healthy-meal options across NYC; pilot with 28 students achieved 80% task success in 45s vs 5 min (85% faster), targeting areas with >30% food insecurity.
Deep learning model for automated waste classification using Convolutional Neural Networks. Trained on diverse waste imagery to accurately categorize recyclables, organics, and landfill items, promoting sustainable waste management practices.
A Star Wars themed to-do app built with Flutter and Firebase. Features user authentication, real-time Firebase database sync, and a playful Dark Side aesthetic. Team project with support for Android and Web.

What does a new grad, almost fresh out of college, have to say to the world? Let's find out.
Pactual. BTG. Better Than Goldman. You name it. The people I worked gave all the names possible to BTG - they were fun, smart, and always ready to help. That made all the difference!
Campus Space and Management! That was the name of our super-very-nice-to-work-with group! Really. I could learn more than I expected from our coexistence that summer.
Yes, I know. My first name is hard to pronounce. You can call me Ade. This is actually my grandfather's name. My family calls me...
