What I'm looking for

I want a collaborative engineering role building full‑stack web applications where I can grow backend and frontend skills, ship features, and contribute to open source.

I am a Computer Science student at the University of Washington with strong academic performance and hands‑on experience building full‑stack web applications and tools. I combine solid fundamentals in algorithms and systems with practical experience in React, TypeScript, Python, and Java.

I have contributed to hackathon and class projects that span backend image processing and kinematic analysis, client‑side integrations with browser camera APIs, and implementation of algorithms such as Dijkstra’s and multiple maze‑carving strategies. I built a FastAPI backend to orchestrate MediaPipe landmark extraction and integrated OpenAI for personalized feedback.

Outside coursework I contribute to open source for the SWECC website and serve as an executive officer organizing large CSE events, demonstrating collaboration, leadership, and product delivery at scale. My work experience includes customer‑facing roles that reinforced reliability and communication in fast paced environments.

I seek opportunities to continue building user‑facing systems that combine strong engineering practices with measurable user impact, while growing in full‑stack and backend engineering responsibilities.
