What I'm looking for

I seek software engineering roles that blend full‑stack development and mentorship, in mission-driven teams using Agile practices, with opportunities for impact and growth.

I am a computer science student and full-stack developer focused on building scalable web applications and embedded courses that reach large user bases. I founded and fully funded a nationwide educational platform and delivered measurable impact for thousands of users.

I have hands-on experience across Django, Flask, React, JavaScript, and C/C++ with proven outcomes: 80k+ students helped by my platform, multimillion views and impressions from my course work, and successful fundraising and outreach for nonprofit projects.

I mentor and lead teams, transitioning groups to Agile workflows, implementing project management tools, and teaching programming to learners at multiple levels. I seek roles where I can combine software engineering, product delivery, and community impact.
