Building things through code.

Headshot of me

Back in 2011, I got into coding trying to build my own Club Penguin private server as a kid.

Fast forward to today, I'm a full-stack software engineer at AGE Solutions helping build and deliver modern applications to our government customers.

I graduated from the Virginia Tech College of Engineering with a bachelor‘s degree in computer science. I‘ve had the privilege of interning at a startup, a big software marketing tech company, and working closely with professors during my time as a student.

When I‘m not at my computer, I enjoy lifting, cooking, exploring music, or keeping up with my favorite sports teams: anything Hokies related, the Washington Wizards, and the Washington Commanders.
