About

At a young age, I was passionate about helping my community and grew a deep affection for technology. Now, I leverage my technical skills to create ideas and solutions that are people-driven. And use my social skills to empower others and to share my own experiences as a UC Irvine student.

A little Python, C++ here, and ReactJS there. All complemented with a strong understanding in Software Engineering principles like Requirements Engineering and Software Design. And, a touch of UI/UX design with Figma. All while walking backwards, giving a campus tour.
