Tirth Patel | Computer Science Student & Developer

About Me

I am a Computer Science student focused on building strong programming fundamentals in Java and Python. I enjoy developing clean, modular programs and improving them through iteration and testing. As a STEM Peer Teacher, I regularly explain complex problems clearly and guide students through structured problem-solving. I am currently seeking a Fall 2026 internship where I can contribute to real-world software projects while continuing to strengthen my engineering foundations.
