Focus: Software Engineering

What Drives Me

Impact— Shipping stuff that matters

Growth— Learning by doing

Curiosity— Understanding how things work

Builder first. CS student second.

I believe software should do more than sit on screens — it should solve real problems and shape how people interact with the world.

That belief led me to build AttendanceLabs, a facial recognition platform that turns attendance into a one-tap action. It taught me what it takes to ship something real — and when to move on.

Since then, I've never stopped learning, and I enjoy contributing beyond engineering — from product feature brainstorming to supporting launches and creative workflows.

Currently I'm at Thrivia, working on how people discover and experience events.

Technical Skills

Started with Python, dabbled in Rust, then moved through TypeScript and React, picked up Docker and deployments along the way. Now? Stack-independent — give me a problem and I'll figure out the tools. Power user of Claude Code and AI tooling.

The best way to learn is to build.
