About Me

SWE student at UCI with a passion for studying UI/UX, building web and mobile applications and learning new technologies. I enjoy creating projects that are functional and engaging that bring people together. I'm continuously expanding my technical skill set and enjoy collaborating on innovative solutions that create meaningful user experiences. Outside of academics, I stay curious by exploring creative media, technology trends, cybersecurity and emerging tools. Also in my free time, I enjoy reading novels, playing video games, and exploring new food spots.
