About Me

Hey, I'm Jay Rana, a Computer Science undergraduate at NJIT, passionate about learning and solving problems through technology. I currently work as a Web Specialist and am exploring various fields like software development, web technologies, and AI.

My Projects & Interests

This portfolio showcases my past projects and things I'm currently working on. Some past projects include: StellarNews a platform to get all space news in one place, a gradebook style calculator, and an CMS project. Additionally, there's an AI Playground page with integrated projects created by experimenting with autocoder tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot Agents, Windsurf) to build skills like prompt engineering and learn to integrate AI (like RAG applications) into practical projects.

What I'm Looking For

I'm looking for opportunities to learn more about computer science and make meaningful contributions. I'm eager to grow as a developer, gain experience, and learn from professionals in the field. If you have or know of any opportunities like internships or want to collaborate on a project, please let me know.

Additionally, if you're interested in having an application or service created with AI integration, feel free to contact me.
