About me
I'm a full-stack software engineer with a Computer Science degree from the University of Virginia and two years of professional experience at Amazon, where I focused on full-stack architecture across supply chain, sustainability, and collaboration tools. Today, I manage the web application at SimpleSUB Water, a mission-driven startup building tools to support water conservation and sustainable infrastructure. My background as a military kid and global traveler—having lived or spent time across North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia—shapes how I think, build, and collaborate. I bring a global mindset, a strong sense of inclusion, and a drive to take initiative on every project I take on. Outside of code, I’ve led peer mentoring groups, taught programming as a Head Teaching Assistant, and built communities as a resident advisor. Whether it's building scalable platforms, leading UI redesigns, or just shipping clean code that makes someone's day easier, I’m here to solve meaningful problems with creativity, empathy, and impact.

Education
Bachelor of Science in Computer Science
Graduated with a B.S. in Computer Science, where I built a strong foundation in full-stack development, algorithms, and systems programming. I served as a teaching assistant for introductory programming courses and mentored peers through the CS department and Math Honor Society. My coursework and hands-on projects emphasized writing clean, efficient code and approaching problems from multiple angles — a mindset I carry into every team and tech stack I work with.
