About Me

I started coding in high school and I've been hooked ever since! What really keeps me going is just wanting to understand how everything works. I have a love-hate relationship with getting into the nitty-gritty of computers because it frustrates me to no end, but the Aha! moments make up for it. Classes like Compilers were exactly my kind of thing.

I've also picked up experience in varying areas along the way. I minored in Data Science and worked as a research assistant as an undergrad and now I'm looking to bring all of that together as I focus on full-stack development.

Growing up, I played almost every sport imaginable, so staying active has always been central to my life. My family loves hiking which fostered my appreciation for the outdoors. It's been a lifelong dream of mine to hike the mountains of the West Coast!

When I'm not on the trails, I love playing a variety of sports. My current rotation include:

When I get more free time, I'm also planning on challenging myself by training for either a marathon or triathlon with my brother as well!

I'm also now picking up old hobbies that I didn't fully appreciate as a kid. Currently, I'm learning Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2 by Chopin on the piano, playing fingerstyle on my guitar, and drawing houseplants!

I also LOVE music and am always looking for new recommendations. On average, I listen to about 150,000 minutes a year (or at least according to Spotify Wrapped). My current favorite artists include:
