Who am I?

I'm a Computer Science student at the University of Washington (B.S. '27, Informatics minor) and an incoming Software Engineering Sprintern at Google through Break Through Tech. I started at Highline College, where I earned my A.S. in Computer Science and mentored 50+ students, before transferring to UW. Outside class I'm building LoopIn, a university app for study sessions and campus events, shipping features for the UW Blockchain Society, and teaching Python and mixed-reality workshops to high school students with AVELA. I learn best by shipping real products, and I care about writing thoughtful code and designing software people actually want to use.
