About Me

Software Developer with a passion for contributing towards the future of tech. Currently, I'm working towards a Master's Degree in Computer Science, set to graduate in May 2025.

HOW DID I END UP HERE?


It all started with my fascination for tech's impact on everyday lives, which led me into the world of software development . Deep-diving into everything from data structures and algorithms to the latest in AI.

But as I worked on diverse projects like MockWiz, my AI interview tool, I realized that I wasn't just coding. I was creating experiences that would make life a little easier, a little more exciting.

THROWN INTO THE REAL WORLD (AND LOVING IT)


My professional journey has been full of unexpected but rewarding twists. Working with Persistent Systems exposed me to the fast-paced world of tech where I wore many hats, from full stack developer to API architect, each role teaching me how design and functionality have to work hand-in-hand for a seamless experience.

The supply chain management system I helped develop didn't just require my coding skills but also a strong dose of empathy for users who depend on quick, reliable interactions in their daily work, making every line of code a little more personal.

USING TECH FOR GOOD (NOT JUST COOLNESS)


The projects that have stuck with me the most are the ones that felt meaningful. Take ChatGPT to PDF, a tool I created that now serves over a thousand users. These weren't just products they were tools that helped people, whether they realized it or not.

That's what I love about this field: using tech to create a real, tangible impact. It's tech with a purpose, and that's what I'm all about.

WHAT'S NEXT? I'M NOT SURE, BUT I'M READY


Now based in New York, I'm ready for whatever's next. Maybe I'll build something totally new, or maybe I'll find myself in yet another interesting role. I prioritize adaptability over allegiance to any single technology, believing in learning whatever is necessary to achieve efficient results.

One thing's for sure: I'm in it for stuff that do more than work. I want to keep building things that make a difference ideally with a bit of fun (and maybe a side of a really good sandwich :)

About MeAbout Me

When I'm not tangled up in code or knee-deep in fixing bugs, you'll probably find me exploring new places, sampling local cuisines, attending conferences or unwinding by a beach somewhere.

There's just something about the waves, good food, and a change of scenery that recharges me for the next round of challenges!
