Behind the Code
I'm a passionate Software Engineer with over two years of professional experience, primarily at Workday. My expertise spans the full stack, mobile development, and the integration of Generative AI.
A University of Michigan alumnus with a B.S.E. in Computer Science, I excel at building scalable CI/CD pipelines and developing multi-platform applications that prioritize accessibility and performance.
Beyond technical execution, I thrive as a leader and program manager within my non-profit commitments. I believe in cross-functional collaboration and the power of mentorship to build sustainable, high-impact communities.
Currently based in the San Francisco Bay Area, I spend my free time exploring new restaurants, searching for the perfect cup of matcha, and making sure to "touch grass" through various outdoor activities.
