Hi there! I’m Elroy, a Columbia University CS student aiming to graduate in December 2025 and pursuing an accelerated master's starting in 2026. I’ve built a full-stack Shopify app as a founding engineer, led backend refactors, and contributed to fintech and startup projects through internships and personal ventures. I thrive in fast-paced environments where I can translate ambitious ideas into reliable software and measurable impact. Outside coding, I’m deeply involved in campus sports and service work—Columbia Intramurals, rugby leadership, and community education initiatives have shaped my teamwork, leadership, and communication skills. I’m always curious about turning AI research into practical pipelines and helping teams ship products that users actually love.
