Hi, I'm Nalina_
NORMAL, ALABAMA · UNITED STATES
I build reliable software, research computational systems, and turn complex technical work into tools people can use.

Build clearly. Test deeply. Ship responsibly.
I am a computer science student focused on full-stack engineering, scientific computing, and technical mentorship.
My work ranges from real-time collaboration products and secure development tooling to image-analysis pipelines and numerical research workflows. I care about reproducible systems, accessible interfaces, and engineering decisions that hold up under real use.
At Alabama A&M University and through research programs, I combine software engineering fundamentals with practical cloud, data, and AI development experience.

Where I've built and researched.
Software Engineering Intern
AMPLIFY Program · DOE TN-QuMat Consortium
- Developed a Python and OpenCV pipeline to estimate nanofiber diameters from dense microscopy-image networks using random cropping, connected-component analysis, and distance transforms.
- Designed synthetic and SEM-like datasets to evaluate accuracy across diameter, resolution, segmentation, and density conditions, recovering known diameters within approximately 1–2 pixels.
- Automated size-distribution plots, validation figures, and CSV reports for reproducible end-to-end analysis.
Tech Lead
Google Developers Group Tennessee University · Nashville, TN
- Led 10+ workshops on Python, cloud computing, data analytics, and AI tools, reaching 50+ student developers.
- Taught practical workflows involving Pandas, REST APIs, Git, automation, and data visualization.
- Mentored students through debugging and project development while creating reusable technical documentation.
Software Engineering Research Intern
NSF PREM Program · Tennessee State University
- Automated 16 member-level calculations per configuration through a connectivity-driven MATLAB workflow covering tension-cable and rigid-strut constraints.
- Developed reusable numerical modules for 3D geometry, stretch-ratio, and potential-energy calculations.
- Evaluated energy minimization across stable configurations and a transition state, validating results against a physical prototype.
IT Support Assistant
Caldwell University · Caldwell, NJ
- Automated server-maintenance tasks with shell scripts, improving system uptime by 30% across campus infrastructure.
- Monitored routers and firewalls supporting 500+ users, troubleshooting connectivity issues and reducing disruptions by 20%.
- Managed 200+ user accounts and access controls while documenting repeatable support procedures.

Things I've built.
CollabSpace
A deployed real-time collaboration application with task boards, live chat, shared notes, RBAC, and session-token authentication across 30 REST/WebSocket endpoints and 9 relational tables.
Hardened with 53 tests across authentication, permissions, API behavior, rate limiting, and real-time session sync.
View on GitHub ↗SecureReview
A full-stack security tool built around a scan-review-fix workflow. It detects 10 insecure pattern classes across 6 file types and 4 severity levels.
Includes a Python rule engine averaging approximately 18 ms per 10,000-line local scan, automated Markdown reports, and actionable remediation guidance.
View on GitHub ↗EduCredit+
A deployed full-stack credit platform that generates adaptive trust scores and credit limits from academic and behavioral data.
Built with a transparent weighted scoring engine across 6 factors, 18 REST API endpoints, 8 relational tables, and responsive dashboards for repayment and risk monitoring.
