About Me

Hey there! I'm a Software Engineer with a love for building things that make a difference. I graduated from the University of California, Santa Cruz (B.S. in Computer Science, GPA 3.7) and have been diving deep into the world of full-stack development, AR/VR, and Machine Learning.

Currently serving as a Manager at AT&T, I leverage my analytical skills and technical expertise to enhance operational efficiency and drive innovation. My experience spans from AR/VR development to autonomous driving technologies and comprehensive software solutions.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring new technologies, contributing to open-source projects, or experimenting with the latest in AR/VR development. I believe in creating software that not only works well but also provides meaningful experiences for users.

I'm always excited to take on new challenges and collaborate with creative teams to build robust, user-centric solutions.
