About
My journey into computer science began with curiosity about how software can solve real-world problems, and it has led me to work on projects that range from optimizing Docker containers to creating platforms that help students navigate university course registration.
Currently, I'm working on Sidenote, a music app that bridges Spotify and Apple Music, allowing friends to review, share, and discover music.
My interests span full-stack web development, backend systems, distributed computing, and programming languages.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me out enjoying nature, hiking LA's trails, or trying new restaurants.
As I approach graduation in May 2025, I'm seeking full-time software engineering positions where I can contribute my skills and passion. If you're interested in collaborating or just want to chat about tech, music, or the best hiking spots, feel free to reach out.
