About me

I’m a third-year Computer Science student at the University of California, Irvine, with a passion for creating technology that solves real problems and improves the way people work. My experience spans building backend systems, designing AI-powered tools, and leading collaborative projects that bring ideas from concept to reality. I focus on making software that is reliable, efficient, and easy to use, and I enjoy finding creative ways to make complex technology more accessible. When I’m not coding, I’m likely on a run, listening to Chet Baker Sings, or spending time with my three pets: Chippy, Cleo, and Chai. I bring curiosity, persistence, and a detail-oriented approach to everything I do, whether it’s optimizing performance, refining user experiences, or exploring new technologies.
