Background

I'm a CS student at WGU (graduating 2027) working as a Data Analyst at Elev8tion Fitness. Day-to-day, I build Python pipelines that stitch CRM and POS data into things the business actually uses — outreach automation, churn flags, payment tracking.

Outside work I ship side projects: a multi-tenant inventory SaaS, a melanoma classifier deployed live on Hugging Face, and a YOLOv11 tracker for tennis match footage. I've also been freelancing React/Next.js builds for small business clients since 2022.

I'm looking for a 2027 internship in Data Engineering, Software Engineering, or Data Analytics.
