Software Engineering
Building full-stack applications with modern frameworks, strong structure, and attention to maintainability.
About Me
A little about me
I am a Computer Science student at UC Berkeley with a strong interest in building products that sit at the intersection of software, design, and practical business value.
I enjoy working on projects that feel real — products that solve a problem, help people make decisions, or create a smoother user experience. I am especially drawn to early-stage environments where learning is fast and the work has visible impact.
