What I'm looking for

I am seeking a full-time developer role where I can lead technical efforts, work in Agile teams, and build high-quality software with opportunities for growth and cross-disciplinary collaboration.

I am a high-energy, detail-oriented software developer with strong academic achievement from RIT, graduating Summa Cum Laude and holding both a B.S. and an M.S. (expected May 2026).

I have led full-stack and systems development projects as Lead Developer and Technical Lead, coordinating cross-functional teams, applying Agile methodologies, and delivering working prototypes and production systems.

My technical work spans C#, Python, TypeScript, React/Next.js, Node.js, Express, and Unity/Unreal development, with experience in cloud services (AWS, S3), databases (PostgreSQL), and CI/code collaboration tools like GitHub and CoPilot.

I contribute to teaching and research as a Graduate Research Assistant and top-rated Teaching Assistant, producing data analyses in R, building Agile retrospective instruments, and presenting research and projects at conferences.
