About Me

Passionate Developer & Problem Solver

I'm a Computer Science student at Carnegie Mellon University with a passion for creating innovative software solutions. My journey in tech began with curiosity about how things work, and has evolved into a deep love for building applications that make a real impact.

Currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Information Systems with an additional minor in Artificial Intelligence, I've gained hands- on experience developing enterprise-grade applications, from payment portals handling $100k+ in transactions to AI-powered tools serving 50+ users.

As a varsity athlete, I've learned to balance demanding schedules while maintaining excellence in both academics and athletics. This experience has taught me valuable skills in time management, teamwork, and perseverance that I bring to every project.
