Rimsha Rizvi

I am passionate about developing real-world software solutions that deliver long-term benefits. With 2.5 years of experience in the field, I have consistently demonstrated a hardworking attitude and a leadership mindset. An example of this is when I co-founded “The Minded”, a platform designed to address mental health issues by providing accessible support, which showcases my commitment to impactful and sustainable solutions. I thrive in environments that challenge me to improve and innovate continuously.

Over the last 2.5 years, I have cultivated a versatile skill set in the tech industry, starting with a hands-on role as an IT Technician where I supported and maintained essential IT infrastructure. Progressing to a Software Engineer at Innowise, I applied and expanded my software development skills by delivering complex solutions. I also embraced a mentoring role as a Software Engineering Teaching Assistant, where I guided and influenced future developers at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Complementing these experiences, my internship allowed me to translate academic concepts into effective, real-world applications, setting a solid foundation for my growing career.

I graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the University of Illinois at Chicago. My coursework included Data Structures and Algorithms, Object-Oriented Programming, Software Engineering, Web Development, Databases, Agile Development, Distributed Systems, Mobile Development, and User Experience (UX). This diverse curriculum equipped me with a strong foundation in both the theoretical and practical aspects of software development.
