About Me

Hey, I'm Ana!

I’m a full-stack software engineer with a focus on AI development. I have a Bachelor’s in Cognitive Science from UC San Diego, where I specialized in machine learning and neural computation. I’m currently pursuing a Master’s in Informatics at TUM, focusing on machine learning and analytics.

This site includes a selection of my past experiences and projects. I’m currently focused on expanding into more AI and research-driven projects, with new work coming soon.
