[02] — About

Graduated from Santa Clara University in the summer of 2023 with a degree in Computer Science & Engineering. Through working in startups or big tech, I've gained lots of production level knowledge and am able to pick up any task and execute within a timely manner. Currently a Metamate and constantly looking for ways to expand my knowledge while working hard in a fast-paced environment.

Passionate about code. Constantly curious. Always exploring the intersection of code, design, and human experience — one shipped feature at a time.
