Bradley C. Alford

Computer Information Systems student, software engineer, AI/cybersecurity learner, and incoming Booz Allen Hamilton SWE intern.

I'm a University of South Carolina student studying Computer Information Systems with a Business Information Management minor and concentrations in Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity.
My work sits at the intersection of software engineering, applied research, data-driven tools, and clear technical communication.

I have worked on U.S. Navy-sponsored reliable perception research, biomedical visualization tooling for Jupyter, web development and introductory programming instruction, and professional engineering leadership through Theta Tau.

University of South Carolina

  • B.S. Computer Information Systems, expected May 2027
  • Minor: Business Information Management
  • Concentrations in Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity

Skills

Below are some of my technical strengths, and I'm always looking to learn more.

The focus areas reflect my resume, current research, coursework, and the kinds of roles I am pursuing.

Java

Java is one of my strongest languages and a foundation for my computer science coursework, object-oriented programming practice, and teaching support. I use it to reason through data structures, algorithms, program design, and clean implementation patterns.

Python, NumPy, Pandas

I use Python across research, data analysis, and technical demos, including NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, and Jupyter workflows. My biomedical visualization and perception research experience has made Python a practical tool for building, testing, and explaining technical systems.

C++

C++ is part of my technical toolkit for systems-oriented coursework and performance-aware programming. I am comfortable working close to the implementation details and using C++ to strengthen my understanding of memory, structure, and lower-level design tradeoffs.

JavaScript, TypeScript, React

My web experience includes JavaScript, TypeScript, React.js, and browser-based tooling. As a teaching assistant, I supported students learning web development concepts, debugging practices, and the details that turn a working page into a usable interface.

Node.js and Git

I use Node.js, Git, and modern developer tooling to build, organize, and maintain software projects. I care about reproducible workflows, readable commits, and project structures that make it easy to understand what changed and why.

Machine Learning, AI

My AI concentration and research experience include PyTorch, Scikit-learn, simulation-driven evaluation, and model-oriented analysis. I am especially interested in applied systems where models must be understandable, measurable, and useful in real conditions.

Cybersecurity

My cybersecurity concentration shapes how I approach software: with attention to risk, system boundaries, data handling, and dependable behavior. I am building toward roles where secure engineering and practical implementation meet.

Research Software

In research settings, I have supported reliable perception work for unmanned maritime systems and biomedical visualization tooling. That work has involved simulations, sensor evaluations, demos, issue collaboration, and building tools that help technical teams move faster.

Teaching and Leadership

As an undergraduate teaching assistant and Theta Tau chair, I have built practice materials, supported students one-on-one, organized professional development events, and helped peers improve resumes, LinkedIn profiles, study habits, and technical confidence.
