Cayden Bird

Based in the Washington D.C. area • Nashville, TN for school

I am a Computer Science and Economics student at Vanderbilt University who is interested in the intersection of technology, markets, and organizational strategy. My coursework and project experience have strengthened my analytical abilities and my approach to breaking down complex problems, whether through economic modeling or technical research. I am drawn to roles where I can combine technical literacy with business judgment to help teams assess systems, interpret data, improve processes, and make informed strategic decisions. I am especially motivated by consulting opportunities that allow me to work with clients, tackle diverse challenges, and bridge the gap between technical possibilities and practical business needs.
