About me

Hi there! I'm a recent graduate from the University of Michigan, where I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Software Engineering with high distinction. While my primary focus is software engineering, I have a well-rounded background that includes an Associates of Science degree in Mechanical Design. This diverse education has equipped me with a unique perspective that merges technical knowledge with a creative problem-solving mindset.

I have a genuine passion for learning and continuously expanding my skill set. Exploring new and emerging technologies is one of my favorite hobbies. Whether it's diving into the depths of programming languages or experimenting with new frameworks, I thrive on staying ahead of the curve.

Beyond my love for technology, I have a zest for life and enjoy exploring different aspects of the world. Traveling allows me to immerse myself in diverse cultures, broaden my horizons, and gain fresh perspectives. When I'm not coding or planning my next adventure, you'll often find me in the kitchen, whipping up delicious meals, or hiking through nature's stunning landscapes.

Below are some personal projects I've worked on, demonstrating my dedication, creativity, and commitment to excellence. Join me on this exciting journey as I continue to grow both personally and professionally.
