I believe the best technology doesn’t just work — it helps people thrive.
I’m a Computer Science student with a strong interest in cloud engineering, data systems, automation, and AI, but what truly motivates me is using those tools to support others, create clarity, and drive meaningful impact. I care deeply about doing things well and doing them the right way — with empathy, curiosity, and integrity.
Whether I’m building software, leading student teams, or mentoring peers, I aim to bring excellence in execution and a genuine investment in people to everything I do.
