Hey There! Thanks for stopping by!

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with a strong full-stack foundation, who genuinely enjoys building things that work well and make someone’s day a little easier.

My experience spans cloud systems, data engineering, and end-to-end product development, including several years designing scalable microservices and data pipelines at Oracle.

I’m currently pursuing my MS in Computer Science at CU Boulder, exploring modern systems, large-scale data, and AI/ML.

At my core, I enjoy learning, collaborating, and turning complex ideas into clear, thoughtful engineering solutions.
