I am a software engineer, problem solver, and tech enthusiast who believes every line
of code should have a purpose (and maybe a little personality too). Currently pursuing
my B.S. in Information Technology at George Mason University with a
Concentration in Database Technology & Programming, I’m on a mission to build
scalable, efficient applications while pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with
technology.
I’ve tackled everything from building web apps with React and Flask to optimizing cloud solutions with AWS and Kubernetes.
My journey includes a rewarding internship at GMU, a mentorship with Amazon engineers through CodePath, and even
a published contribution to an academic textbook on Operating Systems—because why not blend theory with practice?
