01 / About

Curious by nature.
Practical by design.

I’m studying computer science at San Diego State University, with a B.S. expected in December 2026. I earned an A.S. in Computer Science from San Diego Mesa College in 2025.

My work spans product development and everyday technology support. I enjoy turning complex problems into clear, dependable experiences, whether I’m shipping an app feature or helping someone get back to work.
