about

I'm currently pursuing my Master's in Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where I'm focused on distributed systems, networking, and backend infrastructure.

Before grad school, I worked at Citi and interned at IBM, NETGEAR, and a startup in Vancouver, building software across fintech, automation, and networking systems.

Here are some languages and frameworks I've been working with:

JavaPythonTypeScript / JSSQLReactNext.jsSpring

Outside of building software, I love traveling (10 countries and counting!), discovering new coffee shops near me, and scuba diving whenever I get the chance. I'm especially drawn to experiences that let me explore new places and perspectives.
