I believe the best engineering is quiet — infrastructure that just works, systems that let people focus on what actually matters. That's the kind of work I care about.

I spent three years at Quantiphi building cloud platforms and data pipelines on AWS, learning that the most impactful code is often the code nobody notices. Now I'm at San José State pursuing my MS in Computer Science, exploring where that foundation can take me next.

When I'm not deep in Terraform configs or Kubernetes manifests, I'm probably at a hackathon, at a meetup somewhere in the Bay, or just trying to ask better questions than I did yesterday.

Feel free to explore my projects, browse my skills, or grab my resume. I'd love to hear from you — say hello via email, LinkedIn, or Instagram.
