About Me

I'm a 19-year-old sophomore studying Computer Science with a strong interest in software engineering. I enjoy building end-to-end solutions that solve real problems and am always looking for ways to deepen my understanding of systems across the stack.

My programming journey began during my freshman year of high school with a Python 101 course. Since then, I’ve expanded my skills through personal projects and peer collaborations. Whether it’s crafting clean user interfaces, designing APIs, or managing backend logic and data, I love bringing ideas to life through code.

I've also had the chance to contribute to team-based projects in fast-paced environments, where I’ve learned to write maintainable code, communicate effectively, and quickly adapt to new challenges. These experiences have shaped how I think about problem solving, collaboration, and software design.

Outside of tech, I spend a lot of time reading and exploring different types of fragrances. It’s a refreshing break from the screen and inspires me in unexpected ways.
