About Me

The person behind the code

Life moment

Computer Science & Engineering student graduating in May 2027 at UC Merced, building products that connect technology with exceptional user experience.

I thrive at the intersection of engineering and product thinking. Whether it's architecting enterprise systems serving thousands of users, publishing ML research at top-tier venues, or leading teams to build impactful solutions—I'm driven by the challenge of turning complex problems into elegant experiences.

Beyond code, I'm passionate about community building. As Theta Tau's Recruitment Chair, I've grown our chapter by 70%. As a HackMerced organizer, I help students discover their potential through hackathons. And as a Perplexity AI Ambassador, I'm helping shape how the next generation interacts with AI.

PS: The last slide is a funny video of my dog Zoey when she was a puppy.
