About Abigail de Leon

Computer Science sophomore at Rice University interested in software engineering and AI systems.I have experience building and debugging large-scale systems, including developing client-requested algorithmic solutions across multiple languages (Python, C/C++, Java, JavaScript) and improving runtime efficiency (e.g, O(n²) → O(n log n)). I’ve also analyzed and debugged multi-file codebases lines), identifying cascading bugs and restoring correct system behavior.My projects span systems programming and algorithms, including implementing a dynamic memory allocator in C (improving performance by 214%) and building tools for automated test-case generation and graph-based analysis.Currently, I contribute to AI model evaluation and participate in programs such as Pinterest Engage and Break Through Tech AI, where I continue to develop skills in machine learning and large-scale systems.I’m seeking Summer 2026 software engineering or AI engineering internships.
