πŸš€ About Me

I’m a software engineer with a systems and data mindset, passionate about building performant, distributed, and analytics-driven applications.
My experience ranges from .NET-based enterprise systems at UPS to Golang microservices and CUDA-accelerated C++ research projects β€” all tied together by a deep curiosity for how code and data behave at scale.

At Ramapo College, I’ve combined academic excellence (GPA 3.988) with community leadership as President of the Computer Science Club and Vice President of the Google Developer Student Club, mentoring peers in algorithms, data structures, and mathematics.
