What Drives Me
I love turning complexity into clarity—whether structuring a database, modeling data, or polishing an interface. My approach blends curiosity, clean design principles, and a commitment to writing reliable code.

Beyond Tech
Travel fuels my creativity — I've explored 15+ countries. Each journey teaches adaptability, growth mindset, and resilience — traits I bring into engineering. I also love reading, writing, and swimming.

Coursework projects are wrapped, and I'm experimenting with a secret project 👀. Always open to feedback and collabs.
