Rodrick Durden

I have practical experience in software development and applied computer science gained through both professional work and academic projects. After earning my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, I began working as a software engineer, where I supported the development, testing, and maintenance of software applications used in real-world environments. My responsibilities included writing efficient and maintainable code, debugging and resolving technical issues, building backend services, and integrating APIs and databases to ensure system reliability and scalability.

In addition to core software engineering tasks, I have worked on projects involving artificial intelligence and machine learning. These projects involved preparing datasets, implementing algorithms, training models, and evaluating performance to improve accuracy and efficiency. I collaborated closely with other engineers to analyze results, refine models, and apply improvements. I regularly participated in code reviews and followed best practices to maintain code quality. While pursuing my master’s degree, I continue to deepen my technical knowledge through advanced coursework and hands-on projects.

I am proficient in Python, Java, C++, and JavaScript, with a strong foundation in algorithms, data structures, and object-oriented programming. I have experience developing backend systems, working with RESTful APIs, and managing data using SQL. I am comfortable using version control tools such as Git and have practical exposure to machine learning fundamentals, including data preprocessing, model training, and model evaluation.
