About Me.
Educational & Technical Foundation
I’m currently working toward a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at the University of Central Florida, where I’ve built a strong technical foundation in software engineering principles and best practices. My coursework and projects emphasize understanding how systems are designed, maintained, and improved over time, not just how to make something work once. I focus on connecting clean implementation with real user needs through both academic and practical work.
Building Software in Practice
Through internships, group projects, and independent work, I’ve contributed production-level code and operated within real development workflows. I’ve participated across the software development lifecycle — from requirements gathering and planning to implementation and iteration — which reinforced that writing code is only one part of building effective software. Clear communication, thoughtful design, and collaboration consistently matter just as much.
Mentorship & Leadership
Alongside building software, I’ve spent multiple semesters mentoring other students in computer science. I’ve served as an Undergraduate Learning Assistant at UCF and as a peer mentor through CodePath, supporting new students as they worked through unfamiliar concepts, tools, and debugging challenges. Teaching at scale has sharpened how I reason about problems, identify patterns, and build systems that are understandable and resilient.

How It Started
My interest in building things began early through hands-on experiences like robotics programs and programming coursework during middle and high school. Those early projects shaped how I approach engineering today — learning by building, testing assumptions, and improving through iteration rather than relying solely on theory.
Looking Forward
At UCF, I’ve paired that early curiosity with a clearer sense of direction and a growing technical toolkit. I’m particularly interested in software that leverages data and intelligent systems to support better decision-making. As AI continues to mature, I want to focus on building practical, well-reasoned solutions that create real value rather than chasing trends.

Guiding Principles
Systems Thinking
I focus on creating systems where structure, behavior, and presentation tell the same story, while balancing elegance and functionality according to stakes. A well-aligned system should be easy to interface with because clarity and coherence allow it to be trusted, understood, and satisfying to interact with.
Continuous Learning
In the ever-evolving field of technology, staying curious is essential. I believe comiting to a lifetime of learning helps me stay humble and open to new ideas. I find there are always new ways to optimize systems and features to provide more efficient and valuable services.
Collaboration & Mentorship
The collective wisdom of the teams I've been a part of have been vital to my success. In group settings, ideas get to be challenged and tested, forcing us to think through solutions more deeply and produce better outcomes.
