About Me
I’m a first-generation honors Software Engineering student at Florida Gulf Coast University, minoring in Entrepreneurship. I enjoy building things that solve real problems, especially on the backend, where I get to work with APIs and databases.
Over time, I’ve worked on a variety of projects, explored new tools through hackathons, and even developed a mobile app.
I’m currently exploring internship and research opportunities for Fall 2025. If anything here stands out, feel free to reach out.
