About

My journey started in high school with FRC Robotics, sparking my interest in tech. In college, I dove into web development through hackathons, which led me to UX design. As a Software Engineer Intern at TuneTunnel, I honed my skills, and now I continue this journey at Headstarter. At the University of Texas at Dallas, I lead a team of 17 officers as Vice President of the User Experience Club, driving innovative projects that blend creativity with technical expertise.
