Software engineering with a product lens.
Computer science, software engineering, product taste, teaching experience, and a bias toward interfaces that feel fast.
field portrait
Engineering with product instincts.
working profile
Computer Science graduate from Arizona State University with a Software Engineering concentration and experience building full-stack platforms, AI developer tools, and iOS computer-vision applications. I care about systems that make complex ideas easier to use, from algorithm visualization to AI-assisted educational products.
My background spans teaching, research, social media operations, and product builds. That mix makes me comfortable translating technical details into interfaces people can understand quickly.
