About Me

I'm a CS student at UCLA with hands-on experience building production systems — from geospatial ETL pipelines on AWS to full-stack web platforms serving thousands of users.

I'm a 2× software engineer intern, hackathon winner, and robotics team lead who loves shipping clean, well-tested code — from React frontends to AWS-integrated backends.
