About Me

SWE student at UCI with interests in cybersecurity, accessibility, UI/UX, testing, and technology-driven problem solving. I enjoy building and evaluating digital experiences that are functional, intuitive, and reliable, while continuing to expand my skills across software, systems, and emerging technologies. I’m especially interested in how technology can improve processes, user experiences, and security. Outside of academics, I enjoy exploring technology trends, reading novels, playing video games, and discovering new food spots.
