System Archive

Penn State technical foundation organized as a recruiter-facing archive.

The coursework layer highlights the undergraduate core behind the projects: programming, algorithms, databases, systems, statistics, and business context without exposing transcript-only details.

Penn State B.S. Computer Science

Undergraduate coursework built a technical foundation across programming, algorithms, databases, operating systems, theory of computation, programming languages, numerical computing, probability, statistics, computer organization, and business fundamentals.

Public-facing archive only. Grades, GPA, student ID, repeated-course history, and audit status are intentionally excluded.

Computer Science Foundations

Programming, algorithms, systems, databases, theory, and software construction.

Data, AI & Analytics

Data mining, statistics, probability, numerical methods, and analytical modeling.

Systems & Architecture

Operating systems, computer organization, digital design, and low-level systems thinking.

Mathematics & Quantitative Foundations

Calculus, linear algebra, probability, statistics, and vector analysis.

Business, Finance & Management

Business fundamentals connecting technical systems to markets, operations, finance, and organizations.

Available for internships and systems work that values rigor over noise.

The direction is harder-edged, but the goal stays practical: make the work legible, memorable, and recruiter-friendly.

The next pass will carry this system across the rest of the portfolio and replace placeholder project files with real case studies backed by your GitHub archive and coursework.
