About

Building software is the most consistent thing I’ve done.

I’m a Computer Science graduate from Arizona State University, Barrett, The Honors College, with a minor in Data Science. I finished with a 3.78 GPA and spent four years building things that ranged from compiler implementations to cognitive training games.

My undergraduate thesis was an adaptive cognitive training system for dementia patients, a React/TypeScript game engine with six training modules, signal-detection metrics, and rule-based difficulty adjustment. It was the most technically demanding and personally meaningful project I’ve worked on.

Most recently, I spent eight months on the founding engineering team at OrgPath, building an AI-driven succession planning platform from scratch. I worked across the full stack: database design, API services, dashboards, Docker containers, CI/CD pipelines. It was the kind of role where you figure things out as you go and then own what you ship.

Before that, I interned at Medicover India, where I built internal tooling that cut a two-hour manual process down to under thirty minutes. And at DevHouse SF 2025, I built Inboxer in under 24 hours and won the Browser-Use Track.

How I approach building

I start by understanding the problem, not the solution. Most engineering decisions that look complicated from the outside are actually pretty clear once you know what you’re really trying to do.

I care about reliability over cleverness. Code that’s clear, tested, and maintainable is more valuable than code that’s impressive. I’d rather build something that holds up than something that’s technically interesting but breaks under real-world conditions.

I’m also product-minded. Understanding why something is being built — not just how — makes every technical decision better.

What keeps me moving

Curiosity

I like understanding how systems work, then seeing how they can work better. That pull keeps me reading, building, and asking questions longer than is probably necessary.

Grit

I'm comfortable staying with hard problems longer than is convenient. Some of the most useful things I've built came from not giving up on an idea that wasn't working yet.

Thoughtfulness

I think before I build. I'd rather spend an hour understanding a problem than three hours building the wrong solution.

Outside the screen

I play basketball, go to the gym, and spend time with friends whenever I can. I watch a lot of movies and series — currently making my way through Raakh. Drake is on heavy rotation.

“When I’m not building software, you’ll probably find me hanging out with my friends.”
