Engineer with a systems mindset.
I enjoy building software that is reliable, scalable, and practical. My strongest interests are backend engineering, distributed systems, concurrency, and performance-oriented design.
I also like translating technical work into products people can actually use, whether that means designing APIs, building full-stack features, or improving usability.
- Backend engineering: APIs, services, integrations, data flow
- Systems foundations: threading, storage, process control, architecture
- Scalability: clean abstractions, maintainability, performance tradeoffs
- Product sense: building projects that feel useful, not just academic
How I got into engineering
I didn't start in engineering with a perfectly clear path, but I was always drawn to how things work, especially systems that felt complex under the surface. Over time, that curiosity developed into a focus on software, particularly backend systems and the logic that powers applications.
That interest started early through my exposure to technology, from video games to platforms like YouTube. Watching these systems evolve; whether through improved performance, design, or user experience ultimately made me want to understand what was happening behind the scenes.
What kept me engaged was the ability to build something from nothing and see it actually function. Whether working on low-level systems or full-stack applications, I enjoy breaking problems down and understanding how all the pieces connect.
That same mindset continues to shape how I approach engineering: understand the system deeply, build with intention, and continuously improve over time.
As a first-generation college student, I strive to be part of impactful work to demonstrate that people from any background can contribute to meaningful change.
