I'm a software engineer who's passionate about backend development and computer science education.
My work is guided by the philosophy that technology should be used for
good,
and that everyone who is willing should have the right to get involved.
I had the great opportunity to intern at Asana, in its Vancouver, BC office, in Summer 2024. I am currently slated to return there as a full-time software engineer in August 2025.
I'm currently on track to complete my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the University of California, Irvine, where I had the privilege of being advised by Professor Michael Shindler for my honors thesis. During my time at UCI, I was also heavily involved with ICS Student Council, as well as ACM @ UCI to a lesser extent.
When I'm not writing code or my thesis, I'm probably writing science fiction, making music, or playing esoteric board games. As someone who works in tech, I am also privileged to be able to appreciate the outdoors, good food, and travel (especially through credit card points).
I also drink way too much coffee. This is partly by necessity, though I do appreciate the taste of good coffee without additives.
As part of my interest in creative writing, I enjoy yapping about things I like on my blog.
