About Me

I'm a passionate software engineer with a focus on web development and accessibility. I graduated from Indiana University with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and a minor in Game Design. I have a strong foundation in computer science principles and a keen interest in creating inclusive digital experiences.

I grew up surrounded by technology, from the early days on online games to the rise of smartphones. I even had a desktop at the age of 3, which sparked my curiosity about how things work behind the scenes. This led to me to build my own personal games and websites, and eventually to pursue a career in software engineering.

I'm also a big fan of building and making things, including LEGO sets, Minecraft worlds, video games, furniture, paintings, meals, and more! Give me something I can build, and I'll be happy.

This website is my fourth revision of my portfolio. For this take, I wanted to build off of what I learned about properly designing a website and build something both technically and aesthetically interesting. More sections and features will be added in future updates!
