Software Engineer

A software engineer passionate about building scalable, user-friendly applications and solving complex technical problems.

Currently, I work at Code in Spring, Texas, where I focus on architecting maintainable codebases, integrating AI-assisted development tools, and creating reusable components that streamline workflows for both developers and users. Before that, I gained hands-on experience at Beaconfire Inc., where I not only built advanced data visualizations but also mentored engineers and served as the bridge between business needs and technical solutions. Earlier in my career at High Fun Inc., I honed my skills in full-stack development and data visualization while driving performance optimizations across React applications.

I hold a B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering from Michigan State University, and my technical toolkit includes JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Node.js, Python, C++, and SQL, along with experience in Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, and modern AI coding tools like Cursor with MCP.

Beyond the code, I enjoy exploring new ways to combine technology and creativity โ€” whether itโ€™s through data visualization, smarter debugging approaches, or rethinking software architecture for long-term impact.

You can often find me experimenting with new frameworks, refactoring code to make it more elegant, or learning the latest AI-driven tools to push the boundaries of what small teams can achieve.
