About Me

I’m a Software Engineer passionate about building scalable, high-performance web applications. My work blends strong backend engineering with intuitive UI design — from cloud-based microservices to responsive React front-ends. I love solving complex problems that make technology more human, reliable, and accessible.

Currently working at Amazon to enhance seller experiences through innovative platform solutions. Pursued my MS in Computer Science at the University of Washington. Outside of work, I find joy in travel, dance, and photography.
