Joshua Pile

Hello, My name is Joshua Pile. I am a junior attending Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute studying for a dual major in Computer Science and Cognitive Science. I am greatly interested in working with machine learning and artificial intelligence. Currently, I am seeking a Summer 2024 internship that will expose me to both of these topics on a broader scale. I have experience in a multitude of different programming languages and have two prior internship experiences. During my internships, I have learned skills involving web scraping, creating and training different machine-learning models, and front-end development utilizing frameworks like Vue.js.
