Who is Salmaan Rauf?
I'm a Computer Science student at Cal State Fullerton (class of '26) currently working at Disney as an AI Security Researcher. While I'm learning a lot in my current role, my main focus is on Software/AI engineering and Machine Learning - areas where I see myself growing long-term.
Recently, I worked as a Software Engineer at Develop For Good, building a React-based platform for volunteer management. I also completed a fellowship at Headstarter AI where I developed several projects including an AI customer support system and a RAG-powered chatbot. These experiences have given me solid foundations in both frontend and backend development, along with practical Generative AI implementation.
I'm particularly interested in the practical applications of AI and machine learning in software engineering. Currently seeking opportunities where I can work on challenging problems at the intersection of these fields while continuing to grow as an engineer.
