Building Software That Makes A Real-World Impact

Dedicated to full-stack engineering, cloud infrastructure, and practical AI tools that simplify real lives.

Hi! I’m a Computer Science student at UC San Diego, passionate about developing software that makes a real-world impact.

I’m currently focusing on building skills in full-stack development, cloud infrastructure, and AI integration to create tools that improve accessibility and simplify processes. I’m actively working on projects like a mobile inventory tracker app, real-time logistics tracking dashboards, and AI governance frameworks.

"I learn best by doing, and I’m always looking for chances to build, collaborate with others, and create something that will actually help people!"

Whether partnering with healthcare startups in Foster City or building platform experiences in San Diego, I value clean code, strong user-centric design, and proactive problem-solving.

Full-Stack & Cloud Infrastructure

Developing resilient web and mobile applications with React Native, Next.js, Node.js, and PostgreSQL with high-throughput API integrations (FedEx, UPS, DHL).

AI Integration & Cloud Vision

Deploying AWS Rekognition for automated camera scan workflows and benchmarking Amazon HealthOmics for population-scale genomic variant detection.

Responsible AI & NIST AI RMF

Operationalizing the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, documenting model risk boundaries, intended context, and internal audit evidence packs.
