About Me Headshot

Hey There!

Description of GIF

I'm a freshly graduated Husky with a passion for building reliable and user-friendly software. I would say I'm a full stack developer with a slight bias toward backend, but I'm really just a software enthusiast at heart.

I have a passion for building things from scratch such as websites, as well as mobile apps! My programming languages of choice are TypeScript, Swift, Python, and C++, although I'm always eager to learn new tools and technologies.

My co-op experience at MCPHS involved Postman and xUnit API testing and database querying, while at Avidyne, I focused on achieving high code coverage through unit testing in C/C++ for avionics systems.

Here's more facts about me

  • I've built six computers since high school, ranging from budget-friendly beasts to wallet-emptying wonders, for my friends and family.
  • When I'm not racing through sprint deadlines, I'm paddling with Northeastern CSA and Wolfpack Racing Club in Boston's dragon boat festival. (Bronze medalist in 2023)
  • On a good day, I'm a 4.0-4.5 USTA self-rated tennis player , serving aces and ripping forehand. While Federer remains my all-time favorite, I'm currently rooting for Alcaraz on the tour.
  • Welcome to Bamboo Bistro, where college dorm meets five-star dining. Need proof? I once prepared Thanksgiving dinner for my dorm floor using nothing but dorm kitchen wizardry.
