About
After graduating from UC Davis with a Bachelor's in Computer Science, I felt lost. I questioned whether I truly loved the tech field or merely wanted financial gain like some of my peers. My past courses and projects focused on what others wanted, not what I desired. After deep reflection and self-learning, I discovered my true preferences as an engineer. I found myself liking the simplicity and productivity of high-level languages like Python and TypeScript. I also began to enjoy picking up new frameworks and libraries to build the ideal tech stack for my apps. Starting out as a naïve front-end developer, I quickly delved into the realms of back-end engineering and DevOps. This way, I could bring my ideas to production on my own.

Check out my solo projects
In my free time, I've spent a lot of time building full-stack web apps and finding an interesting way to integrate AI into each one of them.
TrendScope
Created an AI tool to periodically webscrape the top trends on X (Twitter) and generate summaries and sentiment scores to allow Internet users to gain instant insight on current events without having to waste time doomscrolling on social media.
YT Rehashed
Developed a multi-page app to allow students, researchers, and educators to save time by generating high quality summaries of videos, download videos at any available resolution, and get a credibility analysis for creators that are foreign to them.
