About / Approach
I build the useful
part all the way through.
I’m a software engineer with a Computer Science background from the University of Central Florida. I’m drawn to AI products, backend systems, developer tooling, and interfaces that make complex work feel clear.
I care about the point where a prototype becomes something people can rely on: the data paths, the product decisions, and the small details that make a system feel considered.
