A passionate software engineer who finds joy in solving real-world problems through clean, thoughtful code. Whether it's designing systems, collaborating on projects, or just diving deep into a new concept, I love the process of building things that matter.

I'm currently wrapping up my Master's in Software Engineering at George Mason University and actively looking for a full-time role where I can contribute meaningfully, grow as a developer, and be part of a team that values innovation, empathy, and purpose.

Outside of tech, I'm a huge anime fan (yes, I've cried during emotional finales), and a big-time foodie always on the lookout for the next flavor adventure. These little passions remind me to stay curious, creative, and always hungry—in code and in life.
