Aiming to be better than I was yesterday

About

I'm a CSMS student at Cal Poly Pomona and recent UCLA alumni. I am a developer with an unyielding drive to improve and mission to build secure, purposeful applications in efficient and innovative ways. Software development lets me bring the visions of myself and others to reality. That fact is what keeps me motivated.

I will be joining Amazon this summer as an SDE intern and am currently a Cybersecurity R&D intern at Sandia National Laboratories. At Sandia, I develop solutions to secure operational technology security for Sandia and federal partners. Prior to that, I was a Software Engineering intern at NASA JPL and SISYPHUS Global Systems, a startup, where I contributed to projects centered around climate change mitigation. My career in tech has been multi-faceted and these unique experiences granted me unique perspectives I can bring to teams when building software solutions.

Work-life balance is critical, so I strive to pursue other passions outside of software development. In my spare time, I'm either bowling, building computers, playing Valorant, or eating at new restaurants.
