ABOUT ME
Close to the screen, Rarely close to done.
I'm a Computer Science & Game Design graduate from UC Santa Cruz. Growing up, I was fascinated by how things worked, the mechanics behind them and the artistry in how they came together. That curiosity followed me into software, where coding became its own form of art: building games, tools, and entire experiences out of nothing but logic and imagination.
Most of my hands-on experience comes from games: two multiplayer titles live on Steam, where I've worked on UI systems, gameplay architecture, and performance. I've also branched into data analysis with Python and NumPy, built a TypeScript drawing app from scratch, and I'm now building my first mobile app. I'm a quick learner: once something catches my interest, I don't stop until I've actually gotten good at it, and I bring that same mindset to every project.

OUTSIDE OF WORK
I love picking up a new hobby and spending my time meaningfully, where I can develop new skills. Here are a few of the things I spend time on when I'm not writing code.
Gel-X
A creative outlet with an actual finished product every time, see the gallery below for examples.
Reading
Keeping the brain sharp, one book at a time.
Travel
Exploring new places and meeting new people.
Gaming
Solo or with friends, still the reason I got into building software in the first place.
Music
Always something playing in the background, helps set the pace for whatever I'm building.
Food
Working through as many cuisines as I can, from my own kitchen experiments to favorite dishes I've found eating out.
PROJECTS
A collection of projects across game development, data analysis, and software engineering. Each one reflects the same instinct: understand how something works, then build it well.
