About Me

I am a Software Engineer driven by a passion for creating impactful software that bridges the gap between complex engineering and intuitive user experiences. I hold a B.S. in Computer Science from UC Santa Cruz and will be pursuing my M.S. in Computer Science at UC San Diego starting Fall 2026.

Currently serving as a Manager at AT&T, I direct team operations and leverage data-driven analytics to drive operational excellence. Prior to this, I spearheaded AR/VR development and real-time simulation research at Urbanis, where I architected solutions that directly improved application performance and computer vision precision.

Beyond the workplace, I am deeply invested in continuous learning and open-source development. I actively architect projects ranging from high-performance native iOS applications to full-stack machine learning platforms, always striving to deliver software that provides tangible, real-world value.
