About

Growing up, I have always been a technology enthusiast who enjoys playing video games. It compels me to engage and interact with software and games. My love for those experiences have led me to pursue an education in computer science and a career in software engineering that enables me to build these experiences with the user, consumer, or player in mind.

I am interested in full-stack development, and my experience has a strong focus on designing and delivering features for web and mobile applications. I thrive in the dynamic tech environment because I can quickly adapt to new technologies while having the opportunity to leverage software to solve real-world problems.

When I am not building software, I enjoy playing video games and sports like basketball and volleyball, attending live concerts, trying out new food spots.
