About Me

I'm an experienced software engineer with a strong foundation in Python, React, and AWS, passionate about solving complex technical challenges and driving innovation. I specialize in developing effective scalable applications, implementing cloud infrastructure, and automating workflows to optimize operational efficiency.

I recently earned a B.S. in Computer Science, where I honed my skills in algorithms, data structures, and software engineering principles while working full-time—demonstrating adaptability, problem-solving skills, and a commitment to excellence.

In my current Software Engineer role, I have architected and deployed AWS-based infrastructures, designed and implemented CI/CD pipelines, and developed user-friendly applications with React/Next.js frontends and Python backends. I focus on full-stack engineering and cloud solutions and possess a diverse skill set spanning multiple languages, frameworks, and tools. I excel at quickly learning new technologies, adapting to any situation, and consistently delivering impactful results.

Based in Pasadena, CA, I am fully authorized to work for any employer in the US. Let's connect to discuss how I can bring value to your team.
