About Me
I'm a Computer Science student at the University of Oregon, currently based in San Jose, California. With a foundation in Python, C, React, and TypeScript, I'm passionate about leveraging AI to solve real-world problems through software development.
Beyond coding, I'm fascinated by entrepreneurship and business strategy. I'm experienced in project management, team leadership, and communicating complex ideas clearly. I thrive in collaborative environments where I can contribute both technical expertise and creative problem-solving to build products that matter.
When I'm not coding or learning something new, I'm interested in understanding how technology can drive business growth and social impact.
