About

Curious, practical, and comfortable turning messy problems into working software.

I am a junior at the University of Washington Tacoma pursuing Computer Science and Systems. My work centers on breaking problems into clear pieces, designing maintainable code, and learning quickly through hands-on projects.

Recent projects include a live business website, a weather application with a FastAPI backend, a Python game-stats tracker, a full-stack event marketplace MVP, a Java dungeon RPG, and a Java spreadsheet engine with GUI features. Across those builds, I have practiced collaborating with clients and teammates, integrating APIs, managing project scope, and polishing user-facing details.
