About Me

My name is Sem Ferid, a passionate college student studying Computer Science at the University of Pennsylvania. I am an aspiring tech developer who has spent the past few years passionate about the power collaboration and efficiency.

Collaboration, especially through mentorship, plays a crucial role in making each generation better than the previous one. This philosophy is evident in my role as an Engineering Peer Advisor and in my involvement with the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), where we benefit from mentors in years above us. Additionally, I am founding a ColorStack chapter at the University of Pennsylvania, an initiative I am really proud and passionate about. In these roles, I share my knowledge to ensure that those younger than me surpass their potential. Ultimately, this approach is the most efficient way for communities to grow.

Leading into my other interest: efficiency. I love learning new things because they bring fresh perspectives. I constantly question and scrutinize the practices of even the largest companies, always seeking areas for improvement. At the beginning of 2024, I joined Neutrino AI as a Software Engineer because their innovation in reducing GPT costs by 95% fascinated me. In the summer of 2024, I continued with Neutrino AI and also started a new role as an Artificial Intelligence Intern at HP. What attracted me to these roles is the potential of AI to create more efficient and user-friendly environments. Uncovering and implementing groundbreaking technology to simplify the lives of workers and users excites me.
