About.

I operate at the intersection of technical engineering and strategic leadership. Currently pursuing Informatics at the University of Washington (Class of 2028). I don't just build software; I build organizations, having founded ESEC — Empowering Students through Entrepreneurship and Collaboration — and scaled it to 75+ members. In my spare time, I work on startup ideas and explore new ventures.
