About
Hi! I am a recent Computer Engineering graduate from the University of California, Riverside, with a strong foundation in software engineering, web development, and embedded systems. My academic background, complemented by hands-on experience in full-stack development and technical support, has equipped me with a diverse skill set in programming, problem-solving, and system design.
I have successfully contributed to several collaborative projects, including developing web applications with Next.js, TypeScript, and Firebase, as well as designing real-time embedded systems powered by C++, Python, and Arduino. I thrive in team-oriented environments, leveraging agile methodologies to deliver high-quality solutions that optimize performance and enhance user experiences.
Outside of tech, you’ll find me binge-watching TV shows, gaming, weightlifting, trying out new foods, hiking, or hanging out with friends and family. I’m excited to bring my skills, curiosity, and enthusiasm to a new grad software engineering role where I can contribute to meaningful projects and continue to grow.
