01 About Me

Turning ideas into reality

I'm a Computer Science student at Knox College with a 3.89 GPA, recognized on the Dean's List. My passion lies in building full-stack applications that solve real problems with clean, scalable code.

From social hiring platforms to real-time dispatch engines, I love diving deep into complex systems — whether it's designing RESTful APIs, engineering concurrent C++ simulations, or crafting responsive React frontends.

When I'm not coding, I serve as a Peer Math Tutor, helping fellow students master challenging mathematical concepts and build confidence in their academic journey.
