“The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing” — Socrates
My very professional headshot.
I'm currently studying Computer Science at the University of Central Florida, focused on building a strong technical foundation in software development principles and best practices. Beyond my coursework, I've gained hands-on experience contributing production-level code through internships and group projects.
My industry experience as an intern has reinforced what I've learned in the classroom and helped fill in the gaps, giving me a front-row view of how software is built in practice. I've had the opportunity to participate in the full software development life cycle (SDLC)—from requirements gathering and sprint planning to deployment. It's shown me that writing code is only one part of the process, and that clear communication and collaboration are vital to delivering successful software solutions.
My passion for building things started early — with LEGOs and Lincoln Logs. During middle school, my parents sent me to a robotics camp where I was first introduced to programming during a LEGO Mindstorms sumo bot competition. In high school, I took introductory and AP-level programming classes, where my teachers inspired me and helped me realize that I wanted to pursue a career in software development.
During my time at UCF, I've paired that early passion with a strong technical foundation and clearer sense of direction. Building things is at the core of who I am, and I get excited about the future of technology and software development. As AI becomes more dominant, I've become increasingly curious about its potential to transform industries and support data-driven decision making. I'm eager to embrace and build AI-powered solutions to empower people and drive innovation.
