About Me

I'm a Software Engineering student at California State University San Marcos (graduating May 2027), minoring in Data Science. I maintain a 3.95 GPA and have made the Dean's List every semester.

I've interned at companies ranging from scrappy startups to Fortune 500s — Microsoft, Robinhood, Qualcomm, Johnson & Johnson MedTech, and ChakraTech. I thrive in environments where I can ship real features, architect scalable systems, and learn from the best engineers in the room.

Outside of work I lead the IEEE chapter on campus, tutor data structures & algorithms for 1,380+ students, and build side projects that scratch my own itches.
