About

A short note on how I learn and build.

I like breaking down messy problems into shippable features. In coursework and side projects, I focus on clean data models, reliable APIs, and readable code. I'm looking for a co-op role where I can contribute quickly and keep growing.

Fast learner

Pick up new tools quickly and move work forward independently.

Engineering fundamentals

Care about data structures, systems thinking, and code quality.

Team mindset

Clear communication and iterative improvement through feedback.

Selected Projects

Projects that show my hands-on work.

Experience

Campus work, teamwork, and building experience.

Skills

Languages and tools I use the most.
