Data Science Intern
Contributing to applied AI and web application work while building better habits around data preparation, model evaluation, deployment, and communicating technical tradeoffs with a team.
Rafael Anulao
Computer Science Student | Data Science Intern | Biology Graduate
I am a computer science student at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, a data science intern at Alshival.ai, and a biology graduate.
I like work that sits between software and science, practical data tools, and small web systems.
Selected Work
Computer Science Practice Ground
Building the fundamentals through projects, coursework, and internship work: algorithms, databases, Linux, Python, web interfaces, and the glue code that turns a useful idea into something another person can actually run.
Community Spaces for UTRGV Clubs
Venture is a web app I developed along with a small group for a software engineering course at UTRGV. The app functions as a platform for students to discover clubs on campus based on their interests and communicate with other members within their clubs. We implemented a matching algortihm for club recommendations, Discord style servers and channels for individual clubs, and real-time chat functionality.
Static Portfolio for Raspberry Pi
This site is intentionally simple: static HTML, one stylesheet, local assets, and no build step. It is designed to be served from a Raspberry Pi.
Compound Synthesis for Biomedical Research
Worked with the UTRGV Chemistry Department synthesizing compounds connected to cancer and diabetes research. That experience still shapes how I think about careful measurement, documentation, and software that respects messy real-world data.
