✶ about me

I turn messy human problems into scalable, data-driven software — and I sweat the small stuff.

My path into engineering ran through international communication and learning design — a background that taught me to translate fuzzy human needs into clear systems. Today I focus on backend architecture, full-stack development, and data systems, currently deepening it through a Master's in Computer Software Engineering at Northeastern University.

Recent work spans scalable APIs, faster database queries, responsive React interfaces, and event-driven services on AWS. I'm happiest on problems that pull me across the whole stack — from system performance down to the tiniest interaction.

If you're building something ambitious in software or product, let's make something.
